No lowered Aerostar or Astro van?

New Army -- going to hell since 1877!

For the wealthy sports car enthusiast I think this is a great concept. For someone who really wants to get the most out of their dues 60, 100, or 150 driving days per year doesn't seem like enough time behind the wheel for that kind of money.

Its really not a bad deal if you think about it. The long term package. You have to pay a one time fee of $100,000, which is less than most of these cars cost. Then all you have to pay is the equivalent of a $45,000 car payment for the rest of your life, to have an new rotating selection of kick ass sports cars to drive. Most people who own these cars rarely drive them due to the depreciation, so even if your limited to a certain amount of days to drive them, then you might actually drive them more since your not worried about depreciation. Plus you won't be nearly as worried about ripping on them from time to time. If you have the cash, it seems like a good deal.
