To create a luxury sports car, auto manufacturers must combine the elegance of a Renaissance sculpture with the speed of da Vinci's rocket-powered roller skates. Enjoy a ride in a masterpiece with today's Groupon: for $129, you get a one-hour driving session in a Lamborghini Gallardo from DFW Drive Your Dream in Haltom City (a $379 value).
Drawing from a stable of luxury sports cars, the auto aficionados at DFW Drive Your Dream seat visitors behind the wheel of a burnt-orange Lamborghini Gallardo for one-hour excursions and high-speed Valentines Day celebrations. Guests begin with a 15-minute orientation, where the staff discloses important vehicle functions, safety precautions, and etiquette for police chases. With an experienced tour coordinator as a passenger, drivers pounce on the accelerator for 45 minutes, flaunting the automobile's all-wheel drive, V-10 engine, and 512 horsepower before following the flame trails on the asphalt back to the garage. DFW Drive Your Dream reserves bookings with an online schedule, which uses color coding to display busyness.

The Groupon Guide to: Obsolete Furniture
As styles and technology change, some of the living room furniture you're sitting on or crying into right now may one day become outdated. Here's a look at some once-ubiquitous furniture no longer found in most homes:
Beanbag Chairs: Once the pinnacle of comfortable luxury, beanbag chairs were the centerpiece of Cornelius Vanderbilt's fabulous Manhattan Pyramid.
Spittoons: Today's more genteel tobacco chewers simply spit into the nearest pet-food bowl.
Love Seats: Most divorce settlements require all co-owned love seats to be destroyed with a sledgehammer.
Carpeting: Modern homes instead feature a swarm of nanobots that can constitute themselves into a soft rug, a mind-clearing bed of nails, or an exact replica of Pierce Brosnan that, like the real actor, can cry, sweat, or vomit on cue.
Courtesy Commodes, a.k.a. Chamber Pots: It may be more sanitary to use the bathroom in a separate, dedicated room, but it's a lot less fun.
