    Default WTB: A Car for Grad (rent)

    As you probably know, grad 2004 is coming up- mine's on may 29th- and all the limos are booked. I was wondering if somebody has a nice ride I can rent for that day.

    I was thinking:
    - Navigator
    - Escalade
    - Any fast souped up car

    And since the rules say I have to say a price, I was thinking in the ballpark of $150 per day.

    Thanks,
    W13

    why do you need a FAST souped up car?

    Good Luck!

    Due to the fact that you are under 25, I think that any rental company wouldn't even rent you a car. I was once in Toronto on business and Budget ran out of cars and only had the Navigator and Mustang available and they couldnt rent it to me because I was under 25.

    Also, I dont think ANYONE here would be stupid enough to lend/rent you their car for grad for you to trash and show off to your friends. Why else would you want a "fast souped up car"?

    By "FAST" I mean one of the known Fast cars- I dont really wanna go to grad in something like a stock honda civic :tongue:

    Basically, I need something that looks good to be honest. Everything else doesn't even matter.

    Also, just for the record, I dont drink (yep, not even on my grad), I dont smoke, do drugs, or anything stupid like that.

    And by "souped up" I mean the exterior of the car (I dont know much about car modifcations btw).

    And even the good cars from rental companies are all gone! (only cars left are things like sunfires! and I'd rather take the bus than one of those lol)

    A lot of guys on these boards don't even trust service technicians at dealerships to drive their cars into the garage. It might not be very realistic to have a stranger borrow their car for an entire night....

    Try an exotic car rental place. Or go for a really really really long test drive with a nice car.

    And say someone was stupid enough to lend you it -- what about insurance?

    You write off someone's Escalade, then what?

    Pay someone to drive your ass around. Lots of people here like driving, have nice cars, so why not get paid too.

    I saw a guy from Churchill at his grad ceremony who seemed very sober try to rip his car back out of a parking spot but instead he left it in Drive and when he floored it the car jumped over one of those concrete barriers. He then put it in reverse and drove back over it and there were broken plastic parts everywhere. It was a Benz convertible...don't remember the model or anything cuase this was probably 4 years ago but because of that I would never want to lend out my car!

    Thats actually a really good idea for the kid -- pay someone a fee to taxi you around for the night in a pimp car. That way the owner doesn't have to worry about the car and the kid doesn't have to worry about driving.
