Has anyone done this? For $800 you get to put 30 miles on six different cars.....Seems like a pretty cool idea, although I'm sure the control factor would put a damper on things.....

In my opinion, THROWN OUT money. 20 years ago, as a student, no real money in my pocket...maybe, interesting (wow...meeting "celebrities" and all that stuff...
).
But now? I doubt it. If somebody would offer me to drive 30 miles in a Bugatti Veyron for 800 bucks and maybe meet Amber Valetta at the same time, maybe even driving as a co-passenger...maybe. I would even pay that money with Jerry Seinfeld next to me because I think he is very funny and I would enjoy his company.
Otherwise...interesting for people who want to feel "special" for half a day and spend 800 bucks for it.
I feel special enough every day, my kids give me enough bang for my bucks.
And I met and/or saw enough VIPs in my life, not really feeling the urge anymore to meet celebrities.
Let me see: for 800 bucks, I can spend two funny and relaxing days at Europa Park over here in Germany. I could get one of those interesting new Nokia N80 phones (3 MP camera, WCDMA, Quadband GSM, Radio, WLan, Bluetooth and all this in the size of a Motorola Razor, only slightly thicker) and I would still have money left for a nice Bluetooth headset and talking to various people for a few hours. Or I could watch several shows in Las Vegas, maybe even gamble 100 bucks in the hope to make a million. Or I could give 800 bucks to charity and feel much better, at least for a moment. I could buy iTunes music worth of 800 bucks, I love listening to music. I could finally find somebody to improve the design of Rennteam and maybe integrate the picture gallery for 800 bucks. I could buy my wife a nice gift for 800 bucks, keeping her "off my back" for at least two weeks.
And finally I could buy goods to sell at my business, doubling the money.
Nope, for 800 bucks, this event isn't good enough. Oh...forgot..I would pay 800 bucks to meet some of you guys at a Rennteam Meeting.
So a celeb would pay to meet me?!? How cool!
