Campbell's Corner

Jeff and I went to Atlanta for a private unveiling of the new Saturn Astra. We were invited with about 20 other Georgians for the driving experience. We got to drive 3 Astras and 3 of their competitors. The 3 Astras we drove were a base model sedan, loaded sedan and a loaded stick shift coupe. We also drove a Honda Civic (which drove the worse), a VW Rabbit and a Mazda 3.

It was a very nice setup with a dinner and everything. My favorite part, of course, was that we drove on a private track and we could drive the cars any way we wanted! We did drive the crap out of them...burning rubber and testing the brakes and all. It felt like we were race car drivers. The only bad part of the whole evening was the drive back to Warner Robins that night to get up early and go to work...yuck!

(Sorry the pictures are fuzzy, I couldn't have the flash on while we were driving the track, they don't want the flash to mess with the driver's eyes)
