Can You Afford to Own A Ferrari?

Like a private jet that requires three to four hours maintenance for every hour of flight time, Ferraris are not cheap to own or operate.

2008 Wind & Fire Tour Dates Added

Most of the Wind & Fire tour slots this spring have already sold out, so - by popular demand - we’ve added a few extra driving days. So if you were shut out before, a lucky few of you still get a chance to pick up a slot.

A number of our fans have asked for details about the specific tour route. Regrettably, the actual route is a carefully guarded secret - passed down from generation to generation and spoken only in hushed, reverent tones. It’s that good.

Wind & Fire Tour - Aston Martin DB9

But we can tell you this: it won’t disappoint. You’ll be traveling through some of the most breathtaking regions of the Garden State, on a fantastic mix of river-hugging back-country roads, small towns, and some high(er) speed, wide-open interstate driving.

The additional driving dates are June 25th and July 23rd.

Tom, Kyle, and Aaron will be available to answer questions about membership options and give complimentary rides in the vehicle of your choice.

Birthday Dream Comes True @ Vulcan

A few weeks ago we received a call from an area resident. Perhaps she had grown tired of spoiling her sweetheart with ties and watches for his birthday, and she asked for our help planning a memorable birthday surprise for her husband.

“Yes,” we said. “Red supercars make excellent birthday gifts. Especially when you explain that it’s a club, and that you didn’t drop $250,000 on his birthday gift.”

“Trust us on this one.”

Sunday morning dawned bright and clear. They arrived…

…and on cue we threw open the doors, revealing the Vulcan Motor Club fleet of ultra exotic and luxury cars. His expression was priceless.

Tomi’s Jaw Drops

After agonizing over which of his dream cars to take out (the red Ferrari F430 Coupe narrowly edged out the yellow Lamborghini Gallardo), we gave him a brief tutorial, tossed him a set of keys, and sent him on his merry way.

Happy Birthday, Tomi, and welcome to the Vulcan Motor Club!

“She LOVES that car”

We’re always thrilled when members use the club to create meaningful memories. Here’s what Rick, one of our newest members had to say about the club this morning:

“The R8 is awesome! My 4 year wedding anniversary was yesterday, so I surprised my wife by picking her up in that for dinner! She LOVES that car. The more I experience Vulcan, the more I love it! You are certainly on the right track with what you’re doing.

Planet Vulcan

Recently, our friend Bill from Real Morris Magazine stopped by to ask us a few questions about the Vulcan Motor Club:

“The Vulcan Motor Club in Chester is luring lovers of high-class horsepower like supermodels attract paparazzi. Vulcan’s novel service promises the pleasures of owning a fleet of exotic cars without the dreary business that goes along with such a high-maintenance investment.”

What A Machine

One of our members dropped us a line to let us know how he much he enjoyed the club’s Ford GT this weekend:

“Love the car. We call it “the beast”. It is so different from the Audi - makes the club concept seem very clear. I used to think I wanted to own a GT - all I really want is to experience it. It takes more getting used to than the Audi, but as you get more comfortable it really answers the call of duty. Wow! What a machine!”
