Poor rental G, hahah. Hilarious list of things to do to it. As a side note, I thought Hertz was the only company renting Gs, interesting about Enterprise.

7. Trade out cabin and engine air filters with my dirty ones. I'm a cheap bastard, and I'm ok with it.

6. 0-100-0 test. It must be done.

5. Let's find out how many panic stops = greasy brakes.

4. Rip apart the rear parcel shelf and take photos for the forum - we need to know what's causing those damn rattles.

3. Same as #4, but with the dash.

2. Same as #4, but with the rest of the interior.

1. 4 wheel drift? Flawless victory.

#9 and #6 are a definite and #7 is tempting... my does need them replaced ..wonder if they will missed them???..lol by the way do you when ur in DS mode and downshift into too low a gear the car starts beeping at you ( just like Lexus ISF).

The 2011and 2010 are pretty much spitting images of each other didn't see of feel a real difference in the 2011

You've just identified ten reasons NEVER to buy a used rental

I got a M35 rental last yr in PHX and drove the poop out of it also. I also beat the crap out of the FX35 (got that like 10 times in PHX) as well. Took one off roading. LOL. But that was for work. I work for a construction materials company and I drive these rentals into rock quarries and pits.

I got a QX56 loaner for a few hours last week when I went in for the call waiting/transmission updates. You could literally see the gas needle going down... down... down... lol

I did #9, #6 (0-120-0) and #1 with a hertz ZHZ Corvette when I was back in TX for my dad's b-day in 2009. I also did # 11 standing burnout till we were in a cloud of smoke. I would NEVER buy a rental!

I did a bunch of test runs on a G37 loaner. Super fun! Something I would never do to my own G37 of course.

& never buy previous rentals, fleet vehicles, or those with heavy mods.

That's so messed up! Why would you do that to any new car?

That's funny, but that kinda stuff actually happens. Back in the day, I had a 5.0L Mustang and so did a bunch of my friends. At the time, one of my good friends who owned a 5.0L Mustang worked at Budget Rentals. Well, Budget had plenty of 5.0L Mustangs. Not only did my friends get free parts by swapping out with rentals, but some of them even got new wheels & tires, replacing their worn ones with newer ones from the rental cars. It was quite a scam....
