Oh man, this reminds me of Jackass (I think). Where they rent a car, and go to a six man bumper car free for all with it.

We always get the insurance. Just makes it even more fun when you don't have to worry about any dents or dings. Check this one out for some real fun with a rental car:

I buy insurance as well. I mean jumping stuff isn't near as fun when you have to "be careful, cautious, and safe". "Yeap there went the headlight and the rear view"

Rental Cars:

Most Fun- 2002 Dodge Dakota quad cab 4x4 (with low range and stock tires). Offroaded the F*** out of that thing at the lake...past a stuck bronco (loose sand) past a a jacked up f150 4x4 stuck in the water (he backed into the lake, hmm???) and caught some major air in a sandstorm on the way out after the "road" blew away. Memorable quotes: me Q"Grab the manual, how fast can we go in LO?" A: "30ish" (at 40ish mph bouncing all over the place), female passenger: "faster!"

About a year and a half ago, we had a family reunion. My uncle rented a insured Mustang Convertible V8. Well, he wrecked it less than 2 hours later, nothing too bad, the headlights and bumper were broke, no frame damage. So, once we got to Jeckyll Island.. Me and my buddy drove it most of the time and drove the living piss out of the car, we ended up blowing the rear tires (bought new ones before we went back.. used $30). I can't even tell you guys in one single post all of the crazy **** we did in that car. Was a great memory.

Friend's rental after he let me get behind the wheel. :D Man there was a ****load of smoke. You couldn't see out the side windows, it's like someone painted them white. And all the smoke was coming in through the vents. Tons of neutral drops, by the time he had to return it, it wouldn't grab on neutral drops anymore, the rpms would just go down and the car would move normally as if you floored it from a stop. Might've had to do something with me ****ing around and slamming it in reverse at 20mph, nasty sound haha. Do rental places carry manual cars?

I've had some driving instructor friends of mine fly in for Audi track events and they rented some ordinary cars, brought 'em to the track and flogged 'em. Kinda funny to see guys in stock Taurus/Altima/Aleros chase down guys in modded 944's. That is also why I'll never buy a used rental car.

^^^ I think it was in the original CKY, I am pretty sure. My friend let me drive a rental Ford Focus, man did I mess that thing up....lol I actually smashed in the whole right side of the car flying through a wet orchard at 50+ lol. the thing was so twisted it could hardly roll, so we got my other friends 4X4 silverado, tied chains to it, and dragged the thing all the way back to the rental place lol the front tire was smashed against the fender and actually blew out while we were pulling it...it was hilarious! thing was covered in mud, guess focus' arent meant for mud offroading

You HAVE TO drive it like you stole it.

I had the most fun of my life with a Buick Regal rental. I pulled over in the grass, turned off the traction control and sat there digging holes. When I finished (2 minutes later) the car would not shift out of first gear. I returned the car to them with only 3,000 miles. It was awesome.

THE WORST I'VE DONE WAS DOING DONUTS AND FLOORING IT OVER SPEED BUMPS. NOW I WOULD RALLY THE SHIZZLE OUT OF THE CARS (ECSPECIALLY IF I GET A CAVALIER NEXT TIME).

Hit all the shopping carts you want, just don't break the car. Whats fun is touching the shopping cart with the front of the car then flooring it hit the breaks and watch the shopping cart fly, works best if it hits a 90degree curve. I would personally rally it around my friends property and do some curb burnouts. Nick

The last car I rented was a 94' 240 SX, I was rolling it around oceanside when a goof in a Firebird stepped up. 5000rpm nuetral drop on the green and we ran side by side for about 200meters until my lane ran out. Had to jump on the binders and pull one of those Earnhart drafts in behind him. At that point it occured to me that racing on a road I have never driven was stupid so I stopped. Am I NOT supposed to drive it like I stole it? The first couple of options confused me.:D

This is how rentals are supposed to be driven!http://www.ag.auburn.edu/users...neon/

I haven't done that in years, but I did it with my own car. The older metal carts were better though, more mass and stable, the new plastic ones don't track straight or go very far like whiffle balls.
