How to test drive an exotic?

One on the right for me
Obviously age has something to do with whether you can get a car, but it is retarded to think that you need to buy a nice suit and show up in a nice car. While the salesmen aren't going to throw cars at you like they would at an Acura dealership, the principle is the same - test something before you buy. Show up, talk to the guy, and most likely he'll offer the car for a drive. Simple enough.

So say you really liked the styling of a Lambo for instance, and went in to buy one yet they never let you test drive it.
You buy it, and decide you hate it over the ferrari you were allowed to test drive now.
Can you take and back??
I just think that would be pretty messed up not even being able to test drive the car at all before buying it.
BTW that dealer has sold plenty of cars to guys in their 20's (dot com porn money).
That Lambo dealer does test drives but the people are well qualified by the dealer before any thing happens. If they have any question as to whether they are being stroked by a good actor playing the part of a high roller, they have no problem with saying along the lines of, "alright lets go for a spin, all we have to do is make a copy of the license and hit your credit card for $45000 which we'll refund when we get back in one piece."
If you don't have 45K available in credit or just use an AmEx, you probably aren't a player. If you do have 45K available on credit to throw down as a very temporary insurance deposit but aren't really a player, most people would just back down and make up some story about having another appt blah blah blah and back out because they don't want to take the risk.

I hate to speak for BstonBruin, but I kinda need to here as there is only one Lambo dealer in MA and I work for the same company (I'm on a first name basis with everyone who works there). Maybe he called or swung by and asked if they did test drives (which by the way is not the way to get a test drive) and they told them they didn't.
