The only one you had an instructor for was the Vette. It was an awesome time. It was like an amusement park where you could keep riding the same ride over and over again until you were wore out! I haven't seen any event like that since.
I used to attend those every year they came to Cleveland

They were here about three or 4 years in a row up untill about 2005. Then they quit the ASM nation wide tour and opened the Las Vegas only Ride 'n Drive which was a flop and GM closed it.

I've been in contact with Scott about this and he said there is strong support within the company to bring the nation wide ASM tour back, as well as great response from us who loved it

I was really disappointed when I heard they were discontinuing the tour. Now that the Camaro is back, GM just has to bring the ASM back. Get people in the drivers seat and compare the great new GM cars and trucks with the competition. It will help them sell, and I think Scott agreed with me
