GOLD MEDAL TOUR (http://goldmedaltour.ca/EN/intro.asp)
If you guys don't know, Chrysler is rolling through Calgary next week with the tour. What is it? It's sort of like a gigantic Chryler test drive. You register in advance online, and then go to the event when you are scheduled.
I went today in Edmonton at Bud Park. There were 3 areas to mess around in.
1. The ESP area, where you can drive the 300C, Magnum, Crossfire, PTcruiser, etc and try out the handling and driver's aids (you drive, alone).
2. The offroad area, where you take trucks on their obstacle course (you drive, alone).
3. The SRT area. Each person gets a ride in the SRT-4, the SRT-10 Ram, and the Viper (ride shot gun with a "pro").
Lucky for us in Etown, the SRT section was the Bud park drag strip. We got to go for full throttle blasts down the strip, and then a rip down the return road in each of the three cars SRT vehicles.
Pics suck, but I was just snapping them while waiting in line. Register your self, I think it's worth it.
