    Pre-Announcement: Free Lamborghini Aventador Shuttle Service (and Photos?)

    It's going to be hot in the middle of Miami-June, so why not arrive in style with one of the coolest machines on the planet?

    GlowHost will be offering free local shuttle service around the hotel, conference, and South Beach areas on Monday and Tuesday @HostingCon in our custom Lamborghini Aventador.

    We're going to be offering a limited number of VIP tickets. VIP will let you schedule a time for your ride, and after those run out, it will be first come first serve. Just ask the driver for a ride when you see him near the car, and if it is available, jump on in!

    We're also considering professional photographs for a couple hours on both days if anyone would be interested in a keepsake for an unforgettable experience.

    Please let me know what you think! Would anyone be interested in professional photos?

    Please ask any questions you may have so we can put everything together for the upcoming official announcement.

    Yes and Yes

    Would love a VIP ticket and getting a photo would be pretty badass.

    I have to hand it to you....that is bad a$$. If only there was a straight away on South Beach. I am pretty sure there is a Justin Bieber joke in here somewhere but I can't come up with a good one.

    edit: I just realized the joke is that I know Justin Bieber got arrested on South Beach for drag racing a Lambo. For shame.

    Awesome idea! I'm sure you'll get some interest in this.

    Thank you Steve and TJ

    Still nobody has commented on if they would be up for some professional photos. I'm thinking we'll have the car parked someplace convenient with a professional photographer so you can sit inside (or whatever) then you can visit the web site do download your pics when you get home. That or I can just send people their prints, later.

    So would anyone spend time to get a professional photo done, or is that a waste of time?

    I think it is going to be a nice idea.
    I too would love to have a VIP ticket for the ride.

    I'll take a couple of VIP tickets for the team

    Pic with d/load capability would be nice, but not essential

    Problem with ding this on Monday & Tuesday is the 'serious' attendees of the event will be in sessions for 1.5 days of that and talking to suppliers the rest - whereas having it about on the Sunday and Wed/Thur would get more interest IMHO

    It looked great and I am sure it caught everyone's attention. I was seeing it in and around Loews always.

    I agree that I think it looks great and caught peoples attention. That really had nothing to do with my comment though, so I'm not sure why you quoted me?

    I bet you are not even close to the ballpark.

    You might be able to get a Gallardo for that though...

    Thank you!

    The fuel alone runs around $300 per day. Normally I would complain about that kind of fuel bill, but compared to the rest of the costs, gas was the cheapest part!

    Everything else is negotiable.

    My bad, I guess more like $4,500/day. Maybe more for the miles if you were driving it all day ;-/

    The wrap looks nice. I assume it is the orange one, really wouldn't think so from seeing it with the wrap unless you look really close.

    I think it is an excellent attention getter, especially since it's not something every other company was doing as a promotion.

    Don't forget the cost of the wrap and the rental of the car while it is being wrapped, and not driven.

    Thank you Ionity.

    Now, lets have another bet:
    How many other companies will do wrapped exotics with ride offerings from now on?

    Am I allowed to call 'First!' ?
