Default need ideas

Hello all -
I'm new the this forum and it looks pretty interesting. I drive a 2009 Scion tC RS 5.0 myself.

I originally signed on to ask for some ideas from the car enthusiast community. My youngest brother is turning 17 on April 10th. This will be a celebration in itself, but will be even more special since his doctors gave him just 6 weeks to live at this time last year. I'd love to do something really unique for his birthday. He's the biggest car enthusiast I know and I'd love to get him a ride in an exotic car... something Italian or the like.

The problem is that the typical weekend rental cost for something like a Ferrari is over $2000. This is simply not practical for our family, so I'm working on more creative ways to get him into the "ride of his dreams" for his special day.

Do any of you have experience working with local exotic/luxury cars dealers that might be able to help us "pro bono"? Any other ideas? I'm really open to hearing it all, anything that will help us to celebrate his birthday in style! I appreciate all of your help in advance!

Many thanks,
Jodie

I'm sure a member on here can arrange a ride in one of 324,712,348,169,283,000 local Hondas.







If that doesn't work I would suggest FerrariChat.com - The Online Ferrari Forum and Community or Lamborghini Forum

This sounds fake but if it isn't you can always set up a type of fund or sell some cookies or something to get the money. You could even take out a loan.
