Car Club Blog

I will be the first to admit that I’m not on the cutting edge of things, especially where technology is involved.  My five year old frequently helps me navigate eBay and Amazon to see the toys he’s interested in.

But in my typical better-late-than-never style, I’ve have discovered www.woot.com.  For those that are less informed than even me, Woot is a website that offers limited amounts of highly discounted goods.
 
These goods can be anything from vacuum cleaners to MP3 players.  The trick is that once the number of items offered for that particular day are gone, it’s over for the day.  To enhance the drama, Woot doesn’t tell its viewers how many items are remaining.  So if you see something you like, you better jump on it, or it could slip away.

Fortunately, I took my own advice today by purchasing the Magellan Maestro 4200 portable GPS unit.  Unfortunately, I am a typical male in that I love cars and driving, but I am all too often not totally sure of where I am going.  And yes, I would rather jam a flaming spear into my eye and stop and ask for directions.

That’s why I am confident that Woot just enhanced my driving experience by about 1000%.  This got me to thinking, if Woot can enhance my driving pleasure on the micro level, why not on the macro level?

Imagine logging on to Woot in the morning and seeing an Aston Martin Vantage offered for an insanely discounted price, like “just” $90,000.

OK, I know that this is not the way the world works, but hey it’s fun to dream.  The good news is, however, that there actually are ways to enjoy driving exotic cars for pennies on the dollar compared to direct ownership.
 
Perhaps no one is better at providing exotic car experiences at affordable prices than Texas’ Ron Sturgeon.  An incurable entrepreneur and author, Sturgeon also finds time to operate several exotic car businesses.

Perhaps the most intriguing is his Dallas Texas exotic car club.  “We allow our members to drive our full garage of exotic cars for far less than it would cost to own and maintain just one of them,” says Sturgeon.  The true beauty of the club is that once a member gets tired of driving one of the exotic cars, they can just swap it for one of the many other exotic cars.

Another of Sturgeon’s exotic car companies is a Fort Worth, TX exotic car rental agency.  This business allows customers to rent an exotic car or truck by the day or for the weekend.  The company offers rotating internet specials as well as discounted special event packages for things like proms and weddings.

Finally, Sturgeon oversees a fantasy car driving tour company that allows car enthusiasts to drive five exotic cars for up eight hours through scenic routes throughout Texas.  These tours are a great way to share an incredible driving experience with other car fans and are great alternative for corporate team building.

It’s good to know that Sturgeon picks up where Woot leaves off.
