so i got this thing in the mail from marlboro, where they invited me and a guest to go to pacific raceways and ride shotgun in some race cars with professional drivers.

so i went there and they gave us a bunch of free shit. then i rode in two different cars around the tracks, and one of the tracks is not an oval track, its a curvy one that goes back in the trees and shit. but i rode in a Panoz and a dodge avenger.

we felt upwards of 2 G's in the panoz, pretty fun.

Then we went drifting in brand new mustangs! That was the funnest part. Then they gave us an awesome catered dinner.

anyone else get invited to this? i think they're doing it in every state.

you have to be older, i think 21 and up. in the bars these chicks walk around all the time and ask you if you want a free zippo. if you say yes, they take down your name and address and shit and then you're on marlboros mailing list.

i signed up when i was 21 and they've sent me tons of stuff. at first i didnt want my parents seeing that i was getting shit from them, but then i was just like "i signed up at the bar, and now they send me cool stuff"

and now they're signed up too, haha.

tyte.  Smoking companies have the most effective advertising apparently.  I'd sign up though.  What kind of stuff do you get in the mail.  Ever get free cigs?

Have you ever bought any Marlboro products, or do you even smoke?

yeah, its legit. i already went.

there's no catch, its their marketing tactic..they figure you'll go home and tell all your friends, and then your friends will sign up, and then pretty soon everyone is getting marlboro coupons, and they're hoping any smokers who dont smoke marbs switch over.

pretty good marketing i guess. i mean i fell into the trap, i made a thread about what a good time i had...
