August 7, 2007 - Dallas, TX – Every summer, Texans (and their guests) look for new ways to keep their cool – and still be cool – as the mercury rises. Now,
D Magazine has offered its list of suggestions on how to do that, and its recommendations include enjoying the weekend with
DFW Elite Auto Rental.com’s exclusive
Drive Your Dream tours.
The cover story of the magazine’s May issue, titled “The New Dallas Weekend,” touts a list of 48 great ways to spend the hours between Friday and Monday. Or, as they call it, “
48 Cool Things to do This Summer.” Included on the list is a recommendation to “Pretend you’re a super-rich moonshiner” and take a driving tour through the backroads of the northern Hill Country as part of a
Drive Your Dream tour. (DFW Elite Auto Rental.com also topped their list with the magazine’s recommendation to
rent a classic convertible in Dallas.)
“You get to take turns with four other drivers behind the wheels of a
Bentley Continental GT, a
Ferrari F430, a
Ford GT, a
Lamborghini Gallardo and
Porsche 911 Turbo,” the magazine explained, referencing the 2,500 HP Tour. “Each cranks out about 500 horsepower … so DFW DYD leads the tour with a radar detector-equipped Bandit, and all cars have two-way radio.”
The adventure is one of several that the magazine compiled and explained, providing a variety of options for Dallasites as well as for those who are just in Texas for the weekend. The story was compiled by the staff of D Magazine
“We’re very proud to have received such recognition from such a well-read and well-respected publication,” said
Ron Sturgeon, founder and owner of
DFW Elite Auto Rental.com. “We’ve had tremendous success with our Drive Your Dream tours, but it’s always encouraging to have someone else recognize what we’re doing. For it to come from D Magazine really means a lot to us.”
In addition to the 2,500 HP Tour mentioned in the magazine, the Drive Your Dream tours also include a
2,000 HP Tour and the
Every Mile a Memory Tour. All of the
Texas exotic car driving experiences allow drivers to spend time behind the wheels of an assortment of cars, with lunch included in the one-day adventure.
“Everyone who has participated in our
Dallas exotic car driving tours has enjoyed themselves, so I guess word is getting out!”
Sturgeon said. “For someone who loves luxury cars and wants to spend the weekend driving, I have to agree with D Magazine – this is a cool thing to do.”
Customized group and
corporate exotic car driving tours are available to teams of eight or more drivers.
