Warming Up the Car has an Entirely Different Meaning Here….
Have you seen Ford Motor’s commercial showing their version of “Speed Dating”? Unsuspecting men go on a blind date with who appears to be somewhat of a “stereotypical” blonde. After a brief getting-to-know-you meeting at a coffee shop, she asks if he wants to leave. Really?? He gets into the passenger side of her 2015 Mustang GT and she gets behind the wheel. At first she acts as though this manual machine is as foreign to her as the backyard grill is to the “lady of the house.” This gorgeous damsel leaves room for the man to offer his assistance. “Like this?” She purrs and throws that car into gear taking him for the ride of his life. HOT Damn!! WooHoo!!

Pretty Lady just happens to be a professional stunt driver. Want to put THAT on your bucket list? Race car driving classes like Bondurant School of High Performance Driving in Chandler can get you there. Or, if you want to live vicariously through your children or grandchildren, Bondurant can start them at the grass-roots level of Go Karting. You can watch the little darlings from the bleachers.
Capturing my attention is an Executive Protection/ Anti-kidnapping Course to “avoid potential confrontations or assault” like I see in the movies. How to avoid being rammed, driving in reverse, and counter-terrorist driving tactics is what heightens my senses!
For a lazier day indoors,
Visit the Penske Racing Museum in Phoenix. Breakfast and lunch are served amidst winning trophies on the mezzanine’s Turn 4 Café overlooking the test track and Land Rover off-road course. To purchase items unique to the museum, The Boutique offers apparel, die cast cars, books, and many items signed by Penske Team drivers.
Need a Lift?……BUCKLE UP!
