The holidays are just around the corner now. If you're stuck in a pinch and have some coin to drop, we may have your gift problem solved. That's because Lamborghini has brought its winter driving academy to North America.
More specifically, Aspen.
For the princely sum of just under $6,000 to get behind the wheel and just under $700 to hang out, you too can take the likes of an Aventador and the all-new Huracan out for some wheeling and dealing in the white stuff.
The cool thing about these experiences is that the company essentially pairs you up with an instructor and you get to learn how to drive PROPERLY in the snow. It just so happens to be in an exotic beast.
It's not everyday you get to slide around in a V12 or V10 monster with plenty of space to mess up. Having done a couple of these I have to say you will learn car control better than ever.
