from G to Caliber...

[k@osx71]

I got into a fender bender last weekend where an uninsured driver decided to make a right turn into me...anyways, my cars getting fixed and I got a rental, a Dodge Caliber. OMG, this car is a POS!! I miss my car already, and its only been an hour, haha. Well the plus side was, the person who came to pick me up from enterprise was uber hot!

So you don't like the rubbermade interior???

Is it at least an SRT-4

Yeah Dodge has to have the crappiest interiors on the lower and base cars. The SRT stuff is okay but the difference in leather quality is very obvious as is the fit of all the parts. The lines on my G are perfect.

[k@osx71]

NOPE! it's the lowest base model... the melted barbie doll plastic feel is not as good as the nice leather feel on my g~ I can't even have fun with it, it's soooooo slooooooooooooow......

[gwoods]

Does it have a e brake handle in between the seats?Is it currently snowy or icey?

If you answered yes to both question you CAN have fun with it. Never mind I just saw your in CA so your chance of snow or ice is the same as mine :-(

Rev the motor to about 4,000 rpm in neutral then slam it into D by the time you get tired of doing that the G should be fixed! You can also manually down shift thats aways fun in a crap box automatic.

On a side note kind of makes you feel bad for all the slow people you fussed and cussed at on the way to and from work. Its not their fault they are slow their cars SUCK!

Why not take it to the dealer to get fixed and get to drive a G sedan for free?

[k@osx71]

Well the dealer I normally go to told me they don't do body work and recommended, California Collission Center, whom the dealer works directly with as well as my insurance. So all I had to do was autograph couple paperwork for the collission center, insurance, and enterprise~ They had all my info. sent from my insurance so everything was done in a matter of minutes!

I had my G35 repaired there once. The work itself was great. But they got some crap all over the quarter panel (damage was to the hood and windshield) that they ended up having to buff out. Albiet with a lot of resistance. They tried to tell me it was tree sap and that it was my fault. But I had picked up the car before the weekend at the end of the day, and discovered it as soon as I got to the GF's house. I never parked near a tree and they did a detailed inspection before I left it for repairs. I was quite unhappy with the way they handled it. They will never get my business again.

[k@osx71]

Interesting... I must say though, the manager that assisted me was quite friendly but they seem to rush you as a customer. As busy as they may be, as we are nearing towards the holiday, I don't believe that to be an excuse. Well, I hope nothing bad happens... (fingers crossed)

at least they gave you a car to blend in with, i can think of worse cars to drive hehe.

Glad to hear you finally met a hottee

When i just got my G fixed after a collision not too long ago they gave me a 4wd ford f150 and i just couldnt let myself walk out without getting the like 5$ CYA(cover your ***) insurance they offer and ended up taking my rental through a good ol cornfield... before i took it back i quickly washed it and took it in and there was still corn and crap stuck under the body and crap it was funny

[k@osx71]

ya, would've been nice if I got something fun... feel sorry for the owner of that cornfield tho~

[USAF_G35_Guy]

I would say go test your rally skillz, but if you got one of the bottom of the barrel models then it's FWD and not one of the AWD ones....ah poop, doh

[gwoods]

4,000 rpm neutral starts

[infinitgkid]

man, i know how you feel... When my car got keyed and was getting repainted, freakin enterprise gave me a Ford Edge...



the only thing that was on edge about that car was me when i found out that it was slow as piss and it most likely had 10 dp(donkey power)!

[k@osx71]

yea, its the SXT FWD... 148 hp / 125 ft. torque... i tried slamming the gas and it took about a good min. to reach 5k rpm
