Test Drive in the Seattle/Bellevue area?

Been thinking about picking up a GTR in the next few months and I'm assuming dealers won't allow test drives. Curious if there's a GTR owner on this forum in the Seattle/Bellevue are willing to at LEAST to drive me around and (hopefully) let me do some low speed driving around town (since this will be DD). Gas, coffee, or a six-pack on me!

Or if someone knows of a dealer willing to allow a test drive or ride in my areas, please let me know!

Thanks!

I hope somebody responds to this...

I give out test drives (and allow others to drive) all of the time...

The car is insanely civil until you get on the throttle. I always find it extremely difficult to explain how much the car feels like an extension of my body. So I just let them drive it for themselves...

Not a single person walked away unhappy.

I'm in the same boat, looking for someplace to test drive a GTR. One dealer said no way, another claims I can "if I am serious." Problem is, I'm absolutely not serious about thier new GTR for $84k when I can easily pick up the color combo I want elseware for $65k with 7k miles. Also, the guy who said that was not the "Nissan GTR manager specalist" and I don't think he was correct. I told him its really too bad that Columbus doesn't have a track that has ALL the sports cars available for test drive for say a daily $500 fee. I'd happily pay $500 to drive about 20 different exotics in a day and see which I really like.

If anyone near Columbus, Ohio wants to take me for a spin, drinks are on me.

I went on NAGTROC per the previous poster's advice and looked by region. A lot of enthusiasts there. Haven't officially requested whether I can drive one of their cars, but I don't think any of them would mind. Unsure what it's like in Columbus, but I assume the enthusiasm isn't limited to Seattle
