Sports

It seems that some seriously talented athletes have started a trend, taking their talents south…more specifically, to South Florida! It began with LeBron James and his big decision to join Miami Heat, and now Reggie Bush has signed on with the Miami Dolphins!

LeBron James Miami Heat

LeBron James seems to be settling into Miami, with a $9 million dollar mansion overlooking Biscayne Bay and a modest (insert sarcasm) fleet of luxury cars including a Ferrari F430.  Recently, the sports mega star has invested in a Miami clothing store called ‘Unknwn’, yet another sign that he is planting roots in South Florida.  Follow link for more details on LeBron's Miami mansion.

This is a type of awesomeness that I have not previously seen before, and as a Miami resident, feel that I must acquire one, stat.  It is a transparent canoe kayak…and it is amazing.  Regular kayaking in the intercoastal and Atlantic is great, but this would allow me to see all of the creatures beneath me with an unobstructed view…it is a luxury canak!  Imagine if our exotic rental cars Miami were transparent through the bottom!

Love exotic cars and all things fast, but feel you would benefit from a few expert pointers on how to best maneuver all that power?  Porsche Driving School may be an awesome addition to your arsenal, allowing you to learn behind the wheel, with more track time than any other sport driving school!  Next time you go for that exotic rental car Miami, you will drive it better than before!

Midwest’s Best Ski/Snowboarding Spots

Of course we would rather be in Colorado or Utah, or the Swiss Alps for that matter, but the Midwest actually offers some pretty decent places to hit the slopes.  For a fraction of the cost and a effortless drive north, you might be surprised at some of the changes Midwest Ski resorts have made in the last 10 years or so that have made them forget for a minute you might be just a few miles from cornfields and cow pastures.  Below are just a few of the many resorts in the Midwest area and they are also some of our favorites.  Breckenridge beware, the Midwest is slowly becoming a decent place to ski or ride for a cheap weekend getaway.

2. Devil’s Head
3. Boyne/ Nub’s Nob
4. Crystal Mountain
5. Granite Peak

The tribe has spoken, and they think you are a sissy.  The only way to prove otherwise is to park that exotic rental car Miami and hop a flight or private aircraft charter (hey, may as well suck in that last bit of luxury!) to the Kalahari for an 8-day extreme bow-hunting adventure, the Zu/’hoasi Initiation Hunt.  This is not an event for the timid, this is an extreme sport where you will be armed with just a bow comprised of wood…no rifle scopes, aerial assists or sharp shooters.  Can you hang?

Bear Down in a Lamborghini Gallardo

Unless you have been vacationing on the Moon recently, you are well aware that the NFC North Champion Chicago Bears have a home playoff game coming up next weekend.  As anyone who has lived here can attest to, the Chicago Bears run this city in the sports category and the city will be ready for the big game.  Expect there to be plenty of traffic and commotion outside of the Stadium on game day.  Everyone knows you can’t be late for the big game and Imagine Lifestyles Luxury Rentals Chicago office has your solution to ensure on time arrival to watch the Monsters of the Midway get the “W”.

Book Imagine Lifestyles’ Chicago office Lamborghini Gallardo exotic rental car or any one of our Lamborghini's from our fleet of Chicago Lamborghini car rentals next weekend and arrive to the game in style and on time.  If you miss the opening kickoff in the Lamborghini, you can only blame yourself.  With a top speed of 196 MPH, there is no excuse for arriving anywhere late.  A little snow won’t slow you down either with the Lamborghini Gallardo and its’ AWD feature.  The Chicago Bears will be ready for the big game, will you?  Contact Imagine Lifestyles Chicago office today and book your luxury rental car before its too late.

Forbes has been having some fun listing the most valuable teams in sports.  If the following teams were to sell, they would fetch some impressive prices, making them among the most expensive sports teams in the world.

Manchester United F.C. – $1.87 Billion
England’s Manchester United is a Premier League club and the most valuable soccer (football) club in the world. This could be thanks to the team’s 18 league titles, four Football League Cups and 11 Football Association Challenge Cups, but that is just a guess!  I am wondering how many luxury cars, Bugatti’s and exotic rental car indulgences one could buy with that price tag.

Lately there has been much chatter in the exotic auto industry and racing circuits regarding Formula 1 Racing and if it is about to go to the dark...I mean green side.  Ferrari Corporation has mentioned it, as has BBC Sports and many others.  But is it true?  In the words of ‘Allen’ from the hit movie “The Hangover”, “Could it be?”  Is Formula 1 Racing joining up with the green movement, joining their ‘wolf pack’? 

This is the time of year for thoughtful, creative holiday gifts and those pesky New Year’s resolutions.  Why not resolve to pepper a little more adventure into your existence?  I have just the thing…go climb an 8-story wall in the Netherlands!  The only thing that could make this vacation package sweeter is if you pulled up to the mammoth wall in an exotic rental car Miami style, perhaps a bit of 007 with an Aston Martin rental would be fitting!

Michael Jordan Upgrades His Sleeping Arrangements

When you are the greatest basketball player ever and one of the most recognized athletes on the planet apparently you also develop a unique taste for real estate.  It also helps to have $20 million dollars at your disposal to create your newest dream home located just blocks away from Tiger Woods; palatial estate.  Located in Jupiter, FL, Michael Jordan’s new home is just what you would expect from the former Chicago Bull.  Located on Jack Nicklaus’ world famous Bear’s Club golf course, this mansion is built for a man who we all thought already had everything.  Playing 36 holes a day for this uber-competetive individual just got even easier though, and he can probably reserve a tee time pretty easily with a little name-dropping at the clubhouse. 

This 28,000 square-foot monster has the usually basketball court, workout facility, guest house, and even a cigar-friendly entertainment room.  No home would be complete in Florida without the pool either but Jordan went one step further with his own pool house included.  With 11 total bedrooms, Imagine Lifestyles is eagerly awaiting an invitation to come play some ball and bronze poolside with the man himself.  We will even bring our own cigars MJ!

This Week in Chicago: November 29th – December 5th

Let’s face it Chicago, winter is here to stay for a few months.  Instead of being down and upset about it, get excited about ice-skating at historic Wrigley Field.  The Rink at Wrigley opens this Wednesday, December 1st.  The Rink at Wrigley is back for the second consecutive year; a full size ice skating rink will welcome skaters to the Friendly Confines all winter long.  A big thanks for the generosity of the Ricketts family and the Chicago Cubs, 44th Ward Ald. Tom Tunney, the City of Chicago, and the Chicago Park District for putting this together.  This is a perfect place to pull up in one of our vehicles from our fleet of Chicago exotic rental cars. 

NFL guys love their “rides”, but what a variety out there in the “players only” section of NFL stadium parking lots!  These guys also indulge in the occasional exotic SUV rental Miami or luxury car rental Miami, like when the urge for a new Ferrari F430 Spider rental is too much to ignore.  But what lurks in their garages?

There was talk the Steelers would trade him.  There was talk the fans had disowned him and that he’d never hear the cheers again at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.

But fans are fickle. Like an angry girlfriend, there’s a chance they will forgive if you behave well and if you perform when required.

In his first game back as the starting QB of the Steelers after a Four-game, NFL-imposed suspension for getting in trouble with police during the off-season, Ben Roethlisberger, did hear the cheers when he trotted onto the field, and he did deliver.
