New Exotic Car Share Club Wave Hits Dallas - Fort Worth More Than 50 Exotic, Luxury and Hard-to-Obtain Vehicles Available to Members of DFW Elite Car Club.com

- DALLAS/FORT WORTH, TX, January 25, 2007 - There"s something the salespeople at the Porsche dealer in Dallas and the BMW dealer in Fort Worth don"t want luxury and high-end sports car enthusiasts in the Metroplex to find out about. It"s called the DFW Elite Car Club.com and it"s a new way to enjoy a fleet of the world"s most distinctive cars for much less than the cost of owning even one of them.

"What most high-end car owners don"t expect is how little they reach for the keys and how much they reach for their wallets," reports car collector, real estate developer, and DFW Elite Car Club.com founder Ron Sturgeon. "We believe that exotic and high-end car lovers in the Metroplex are ready for a better, less costly way to drive elite automobiles." That new way is called DFW Elite Car Club.com. />
"Timeshares for airplanes and yachts have been around for years," reports Mr. Sturgeon. "We are just extending the same idea to a fleet of exotic, luxury, and classic automobiles." Membership is open to both corporations and individuals. In exchange for their monthly dues, members receive an allotment of points that work like currency for use of club vehicles at costs far lower than ownership or daily rental rates.

"We have a real advantage over most other car clubs because we have a well capitalized owner and a superb in-house collection of 50+ distinctive cars partly drawn from Ron"s private collection," says Club director David Campbell. "Most other clubs need a large outlay from members so that can begin to buy a fleet. We have 4+ million dollars" worth of elite cars available to members now."

"The owner of a single luxury or exotic car might get a little bored with driving the same car," says DFW Elite Car Club.com Director David Campbell. "Our members can take out the precise set of wheels they need from our fleet of 50+. Imagine driving a jet black Rolls Royce Phantom, exploring the Metroplex in a Ferrari F430, living large in a CXT monster truck, or savoring a rally red vintage "65 Vette Stingray whenever you feel the itch. Owning a single car isn"t nearly as much fun." Club members have reduced cost access to the company"s other unique product, Drive Your Dream, where they get to enjoy a tour featuring five supercars.

"Because the whole point of the club is to have members enjoy the cars," says Mr. Sturgeon, "we have decided to limit the club to 250 members. When we add the next car to the club fleet, we will reopen for five additional members. Some other car clubs have up to 20 members per car, but we will stay at five."

Mr. Sturgeon is not the only one who thinks the time is right for elite fleet time-sharing. "The time is right for people to rethink how they"re enjoying the latest cars," says Ron Van Horssen, CEO of the Van Horssen Group, a membership club in Phoenix. "Cars are depreciating assets so theirs no reason to own them fractionally or otherwise. But there are a lot of reasons to enjoy them and compare them."

The concept has attracted attention in both the automotive and business press with recent articles on the benefits of car clubs appearing in Business Week, Forbes, and the Chicago Tribune.

Several entrepreneurs have launched ventures in major U.S. cities based upon the concept. For more on those and car clubs visit www.exoticcarclubs.com. "Although the industry is still in its infancy," says the Fort Worth businessman, "it"s a matter of Texas pride that we maintain our lead over other clubs as far as the number of elite cars we have and the quality of the membership experience."

DFW Elite Car Club.com is headquartered at 5940 Eden in Fort Worth, and serves members throughout the DFW Metroplex with more than 50 exotic and luxury cars, trucks and SUV"s. For more information or to see a complete inventory of club vehicles, visit www.dfwelitecarclub.com or call 817-331-0788.
