Looking for driving school advice

Hello all,
I need advice about a driving school for my husband. I sent him to the BMW M School for Hanukkah and he got back thrilled but saying that the next time I send him to one ( he assumes I will you notice) he would love one that teaches him things like the Miami Vice type moves. Does anyone know of a good school that does this type of stuff? I am posting here as I hope he won't see it.

Sorry cant help you, but I am sure if you mention the area where you live someone may be able to help you. By interest, what cars does he/you have?

Sorry

Hello again,
My apologies, I am new to this :-) We live in Santa Clarita, CA and I have a 2002 Maxima and a 1965 Mustang convertible with a 4 barrell 289. My husband gets his 2005 SLK55 hopefully on Sunday now and we have a 2006 E55 wagon on order for me that will be here 12/05. Also, it doesn't matter where the school is as he doesn't mind flying. I sent him to South Carolina for the BMW school.
Kim

I would suggest Skip Barber or Bob Bondurant. Bondurant in particular offers an executive protection program that includes ramming cars.
