VSI Holdings, Inc.'s Drunk Driving Simulator to be Demonstrated At Capitol Hill as Part of National Youth Summit

    BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich., Oct. 2 VSI Holdings (Amex: VIS)
will support Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and DaimlerChrysler with a
demonstration of the Neon Drunk Driving Simulator for Members of the U.S.
Senate and U.S. House of Representatives at Capitol Hill on October 3, 2000.
The demonstration, which is part of MADD's National Youth Summit to prevent
underage drinking, will give approximately 435 youth delegates along with
their Members of Congress an opportunity to experience firsthand the dangers
of "driving drunk" without taking a sip of alcohol by driving a specially
programmed car.
    The Neon Drunk Driving Simulator program, produced by VSI Holdings'
entertainment company Advanced Exhibits, interactively demonstrates the
dangers of drinking and driving to thousands of high school students
throughout the United States annually.  Engineered with Advanced Exhibits'
proprietary computer-activated program, the 2000 Dodge/Plymouth Neon Simulator
replicates the slowed physical and mental responses of a driver at various
levels of alcohol consumption -- producing an effect similar to a driver under
the influence.
    In addition to the Summit, the program is touring approximately 400 venues
nationwide.  Since its inception in 1998, the Neon Drunk Driving Simulator has
appeared at more than 3,250 locations where over 950,000 students have
participated directly as either driver or passenger, and a further three
million have been event spectators.
    "It is an honor to share the lifesaving message of the drunk driving
simulator with our nation's delegates and to have our technology incorporated
as part of MADD's National Youth Summit.  Through ongoing community support
with companies such as DaimlerChrysler and with the efforts of MADD, we make a
significant impact on the youth using dramatic hands-on experiences with
simulator technology," commented VSI Holdings' CEO Steve Toth, Jr.
