NEW YORK, Jan. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Automakers often claim that their vehicles can do more than just get you from point A to point B. Drivers often wish they can push the speedometer on that shiny new sports car over a hundred, but few of them ever get the opportunity -- until now. Some automakers are now helping fulfill those dreams by offering up exotic extras with their new purchase.

If any SUV was built for off-roading, Hummer is it. If you have a new Hummer, make a reservation at the Hummer Academy in South Bend, Indiana. There, you can test your rock crawling skills with varying degrees of difficulty.
The Swedish automaker Saab goes a bit further, with what they call the "Ice Experience." Customers are taken up to the very north of Sweden, 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle. There, they actually go to a hotel built out of ice; have winter driving on ice; go on helicopter rides up to the highest mountains in Sweden; and have dogsled rides after the Swedish huskies.
If speed is your need, then take your new V-series Cadillac and head for Road Atlanta. There, you can put your new car through one of the most beautiful road race courses in the world.
