Many hair colors ago . . . I drove a Ferrari |
A few years ago Mr. C&G bought me the most perfectly amazing Mother's Day present, an afternoon of driving my dream cars down long winding country roads in rural New York and New Jersey. Gotham Dream Cars runs half day tours, exotic car rentals, and white knuckle laps around a race track in locations throughout the country. If your father or the father of your kiddos is a car fanatic this is one awesome gift, with a bonus for you because you get to ride along in the passenger seat. Just don't forget a stylish head scarf and Jackie O style sunglasses.

Switching drivers in our super car convoy |
Rarely do you get a chance to sit in any one of those (much less six) without winning the lottery, selling your start up (or travel blog, cough, cough), or shacking up with a superstar athlete. When you arrive at the Gotham Dream Cars HQ you'll be given an in depth orientation on the cars and the rules of the road and the importance of safety. They are all incredibly powerful machines with costly maintenance and repairs so you'll want to pay close attention. A simple scrape of the bumper could cost more than a year of college tuition (just kidding, sort of).

Sing it with me "I'm still Jenny from the block" |
You'll drive each car about 15 miles before stopping to switch. We worked our way from Teterboro Airport (the better to check up on your private plane) to Bear Mountain State Park and back. There are a few cars, like the Murciélago, where your passenger will be replaced by an instructor just because it's so low to the ground or it's hard to see out the tiny windows. Mr. C&G got into the car behind me and said when I stepped on the gas pedal the thunder from the exhaust almost blew a hole through his chest. See, I'm a natural. Now if I could just convince him to go another round in the passenger seat while I'm behind the wheel. . . A perfect Father's Day present!
