Good morning women drivers! In this month’s issue of Car & Driver Magazine, I noticed an interesting article called “Ladies Who Launch” which is about, unbelievably, a Porsche driving school for women! The two day course was held during a weekend this past September at the Porsche Sport Driving School in Birmingham, Alabama. The class has some background information about the mechanical workings of the cars (see our Engine 101 section), but mostly the class is outside and hands-on with the real thing: Porsche Boxsters, Carreras, Cayennes, and more! This class is a lot of fun for gals who have always dreamt of driving a sports car or going off-road. Accompanied by instructors, the course is completely safe and you won’t have to worry about wrecking a $100,000 sports car. While the cost of the class is not too expensive at $2500-$4000, the curriculum is identical to the class for our male counterpart, which of co urse is a compliment to our driving skills. For some nail-biting fun, check out the driving school at: http://www.porschedriving.com.

Would you be daring enough to try out a course like this? In the upcoming weeks, we will have Gail Smith, a driving instructor at the Porsche Driving School here at Women Drivers doing a guest blog and chat. I look forward to your comments below!

Drive Your Bargain,
