I just saw this on TV, it might be worth looking into.

It's a FREE drivers course taught by professional race car drivers.

And the best part is the commercials show teens driving e46's.

I'd probably go in there and after 10 minutes try to puncture my own ear drum with a screwdriver after they start to tell me taking a 90* turn at 50 is bad.

if you watch the video, they have you take those cars spinning around in a parking lot. looks cool to me. they're coming to seattle in august, i think i'll try it! thanks harry.

^^^ no shit? dude, im down!

**EnvyM3** · 05-11-2005, 08:08 AM

I didn't see any e46's. Just camaros, mustangs, and saturns. Hmmm, oh well, I do that shit in my e46 everyday

I was talking about seeing e46's on the commercial... but if you go to the gallery page, there's a few of them in the pics too.

OK, I just watched the commercial, and I still think it's homogay... I experienced all they can teach me on my own.

There is no school that can prepare you for a reaction after coming out in front of a van on the opposite side of the road going 65 with the van going 50 towards you...

i'd just take it cause they let me beat the shit out of a camaro... for free! sounds like a great time.

**htp.bmw** · 05-11-2005, 03:15 PM

YES, so true.

**xsperf** · 05-11-2005, 07:33 PM

lol, no it was an e46 325i.. and yes, an impala

my bro was actually seroiusly considering asking them if he could put his car on, but he was like 100% sure theyd say no

but anyway, basically they have a couple of cones in a 90 degree turn, and the bring a firetruck and dump water on it. you just floor it, the instructor/race car driver pulls the handbrake and basically you try to get out of it straight, its supposed to teach you how to react incase of an emergency
