I'd straight up do this if I had a N2O kit laying around. Anyone got one I can borrow or buy cheap?????:D :D :D

Saw this a while back.... looks like lots of fun :D

LOSERS!!!!! and thats all I have to say about that.:mad:

Thats whats wrong with this worldNO RESPECT for other peoples things.

If you took "YOUR" car to a mechanic and he took your car to the track and abused it would it be funny then?

whooooo now.....simma down now, simma down

Dark_5.0....Thrifty, along with most other rental agencies have insurance on these cars....and it's no big deal to have 1 of their thousands of cars breakdown... It's a little different than your mechanic taking your ONLY daily driver out and blowing the thing up. They're just having a little harmless fun. If Thrifty had a big problem with this they'd probably go out of business, but they thrive. So one of their cars is broken from doing this...big deal.:rolleyes:

Back in the late 60's there were things called Rent-a-Racers....Hertz used '69 Mach 1 428 CJs to rent out to people to take them to the track....how many of those do you think were damaged? I'm sure just about all of them were in some way...

If this was their wife's mom's car, it would be a different story...but it's not....so it'll be ok man....

Hertz used '69 Mach 1's? I have never heard of that hehe. i know they used '66 Shelby GT350H's that were painted black with gold stripes to match. Anyways Tireburner where is my credit for givong you that link!! :mad: :D ;)

oh yes sir, sorry sir

Nick the almight lord of computers gave me the link!!!!!

bow down, bow down!!!!!!!!!!

..and I thought my uncles and I beat the crap out of our rental cars down in Florida. Man I wish I'd had that kit. If you buy the insurance option, I don't really see the problem. The Uhaul guy always tells me I could burn the entire thing to the ground and their insurance option would cover it.:D

Oh since the car was owned by a company and not an individual that makes it all ok:rolleyes: I have insurance on my car too does that mean I want you to borrow it and spray it wih Nitrous till it blows.

Nevermind........Im just having a bad day:)

Later,

yeah, I hear ya. i'm having a bad week! lol

Hope yours get's better.

:)

Take care,

Exactly. Since a copany owns it, blowing one up will have no fiscal impact on them. Their insurance matrix is so large, nothing will change, and they will get a NEW car. If my insurance worked like that I would gladly let you do that to any of my vehicles. I could use a new one.:D

I do see your point, it is less than ethical. But then so are off road h-pipes when you take them back off to smog a car in CA.

I still think its funny.

LMAO..i know the person who wrote that article..they live up by me and he writes for all the Mopar Mags..they got a bunch of fast neons and spirt rt's

This situation is NOTHING like having your mechanic beat on your car. I'm not sure, I'll have to ask the accountant :D but they could probably even write it off as a loss toward taxes...I already feel my pity dwindling away :rolleyes:

I'm a HUGE champion for increased personal respect in this shitty world, but rental car companies just don't seem to make my list as of yet :D ;)

I thought so too!

Belle, I am an accountant, and yes any loss they suffered would be deductable. In fact, one Neon would be immaterial to them anyway, meaning its not worth enought to their bottom line to really go looking for it.

Now, if only I was old enough to rent a car.....

Oh Lordy, two Mustang driving, sportbike riding accountants on Mustangworks...Look out! :D

Well DAMMIT, I'm having a bad YEAR!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:


I hope we all get better too! ;)

BTW, you said it incorrectly. Since I know there are some people out there who like to be all up in someone's word usage, I feel that I must remind you that the correct terminology is...

NAWS!!!

:D :D :D

THAT'S RIGHT!! YOU BETTER RECOGNIZE!! HAHAHA J/K :D ;) :D

Thanks man, this damn opressive west texas heat coupled with the fact that I am having trouble meeting my deadlines at work have put me in an irritable mood. (Its hard to find good help these days).....

Hope yours gets better too.

Later,

Yeah, I know you are, Joe, and of all the people I know, you deserve it the least. Life sure does deal out some strange cards sometimes.

Sorry man.

Take care,
