Turn left.... wake up, time to turn left again... LOL

Hey, i don't think the stupid thing is worth $20K either! Just pointed
out a way to actually drive your own real car, on the track, for LESS
money. To me anything else is nothing more memorable than a roller
coaster ride.

Think positive - those who set low expectations always achieve them...

Anyway, I'd seriously consider getting one, but I'm actually prepared to pay
