Is Anyone Here In The Quarter Mile Club?

[Beer Baron]

There is a display today just outside my work. They have 3 Ferarris and a porsche turbo. Basically you pay membership of either $15K or $28K per year and for that you get 500 or 1000 points. you use those points to "pay" for useage of the cars in their collection which include Murcielago, Gallardo, F430, 360 modena, Porsche turbo, Aston DB9 Volante etc etc. I think it's pretty reasonable. I was thinking about it quite hard. If I did it for a year it would mean no spending on the GTR that year, and no japan trips that year. But would the sacrifice be worth it I wonder?

Anyway, are any of the members on here in that club? Or do you know someone who is?

Man that'd be a year to remember!

Nice. Although for 15-28k per year, Id rather put that into property or some other form of 'potential' wealth making investment - but thats my personal "Bi-Lo / Home brand" style of thought.

Lets say a decade worth of investing, and you could perhaps buy one of the mentioned cars, and depending on how the investment went, maybe even a near-city unit with a secure garage too !!

edit : then again the target market would obviously have some disposable readie$ to afford to "hire" nice cars for the year

yeah, see I probably put that much into my property investment each year. I couldn't do it without some sacrifice as I'm no where near made of money, but it's a nice thought. I'd prefer it to owning one. A lease on a murcielago would be a shitload more than $30K a year too. Plus this way you get to try a lot of different cars, and they buy new ones after considering votes from members.

Yeah, but for a half membership, 500 points, you could use say the gallardo/murcielago/430 for a total of like 8 days if you wanted to use it on the weekends, and two weekdays... not much usage for 15k

erm ok... thats 1000 point for 40 days... what do you do for the other 325?!

youd have to drive your skyline... it would be cool but i wouldnt do it

[Beer Baron]

yeah, but possibly still cheaper than renting one (if you even can?). I would go weekdays anyway, i'm sure there will be plenty of good weekday track days... lol.

LOL - classic.... better find out about insurance tho ! Id hate to wipe a lambo into a track wall, and be held accountable for costs.

12. Am I able to drive the cars on track days?

No, the cars are only registered to drive on the road and not for any track or race events.
