    Anybody interested in driving an exotic car while in Cancun?? We are at TTR Mar.3-24/13 & would love to rent an exotic car for an afternoon sometime. The wife isn't interested at all. Check the website exoticrides.com.mx & let me know who's interested.

    Cancun is a great place but I have to be honest, I want nothing to do with putting myself out there for further risk of going to a Mexican jail. Granted most of my experiences are from when I lived in Yuma Arizona and had a house in San Luis Mexico, but I just have a hard time trusting the police in Mexico.

    Case in point the very last time I drove over there I was pulled over with my Spanish speaking girl friend, all the nice police officer wanted was me to pay a fine right there on the spot for some absurd charge. I always hid my money when i was over the border, so I showed him all I had was a check book... he wanted a check for 200$ this was 1995 mind you... and yes a border town. I wrote the check proceeded directly to the border to never drive again in Mexico ( canceled the check with my bank), it was taxi's or buses from that point on.

    Now I know there are bad cops all over the place, but I just can see the reward being worth the risk driving in a foreign country. I know you did not ask for my 2 cents so its worth what you paid for it.

    For me I will leave the driving up to the Mexican citizens and tip well. Good luck in your search !

    wow... their prices aren't that bad... I'd like to do something like this, but not as much as i'd like to be at TTR lol

    And I just don't trust myself driving around roads there with mexican police like Tatas said... Track day event maybe... I would love to beat the snot out of an SLS.

    Do this in Vegas - RACING SCHOOL, Exotics racing school is the ultimate driving experience at Las Vegas Speedway with Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche.

    A real track with real instructors, real laws with real liability insurance.

    I wouldn't exactly trust the good folks in Mexico to ensure all systems are checked and the tires inflated properly to do a few 130 -150mph runs.

    I think Hertz is renting some sports cars these days, certainly wouldn't call a Corvette or Lotus exotic, but I think you can rent those by the day at Hertz and have a full day of fun.
