Anyone else get the C&D / R&T "Editor for the Day" invite?
In the mail today, I got an invitation to Car and Driver / Road & Track "Editor for the Day" event at FedEx field on July 22-23.
"You are invited to put yourself behind the weel and perform your own side by side comparison test like our editors do. Test the BMW, Cadillac and Lexus and uncover a variety of performance attributes including acceleration, handling, braking, ride and stability control on our specialized test courses. In addition to enjoying a once in a lifetime driving opportunity, you will receive a personalized in-car video and a chance to have your opinions printed in the magazine!" It's free. I went ahead and signed up. Anyone else going or have heard of it? It sounds like it could be fun. FWIW, I don't subscribe to either magazine, so I have no idea how they got my name or address. I test drove a ton of cars, including Lexus and BMW -- perhaps a dealer gave my address out?

Signed up!!! ... finally
I signed up for Sunday July 23, 10:00 though...my preference for these driving events (less crowd, less traffic on the way there etc). I guess I will be meeting Alvin (ase2dais) there... I will solicit attendance via DC Chat thread as well Thanks to all...

AJ, not sure if they will feed you at Sat's ride n drive...sure sounds like you have a weak stomach
BK: I am pretty sure you do not need a mailed-in confirmation. The confirmation email should suffice. The only ride n drive I've gone to that required a mail-in/letter was last year's Jaguar Driving Experience at Summit Pt, WV. That was strictly by invitation, no website. Great food served
