I want to know what everyone’s experiences were like. I own a Ford Focus RS and I know they had the Adrenaline Academy when these were new, but I didn’t buy mine new so I missed out on it. I did however attend a Cadillac marketing event for the first generation V series cars way back in 2006, it was for prospective owners, and that was awesome taking all the V models around the track. It actually stuck with me because I bought a 2007 CTS V about 5 years later. We had instruction and light driver training from some pros including Tommy Kendall, we then took all the V series cars through auto cross courses and the road course at El Toro. We got given a care package with driving shoes and some other swag. What are the experiences you guys have had? Are there any you would like to do someday that you haven’t? I am talking about the factory backed events only.
The plaque they gave us.

Been a lifelong bmw owner until recently when they decided to go with the braille school of design for their cars.
I’ve been to their 6 Driving Experience in Spartanburg, SC. Also been to numerous driving experiences they host throughout the years.
Been to the government fleet expo where I got to drive their offerings on a race track.
Been to a Mercedes Benz event to test their fleet.
Been to a Ford event for their release of the… forgot what it was… a sedan of some sort.
Haven’t been to the Porsche school but that’s next.
I’ll say every factory puts on the best show with hospitality tents and they give you lots of little gifts and merchandise.
The bmw school was top notch with a tour of the factory and shop and they fed us 5 star food and had tons of lessons and ride alongs with their staff and demos and solo track sessions. If I bought another new car I’d definitely go again.
