"Did you know that cruise control works at 130mph?" one asked. Or that simply rolling the all windows up was good for an additional six mph on the banking. Brake and tire smoke filled the air.

"My mother doesn't even drive the speed limit, but put her in a rental car and she's doing doughnuts in the grocery store parking lot."
"Buying a rental car is like going to a "house of ill repute" to look for a wife; anything that's been driven that hard by that many people, you don't want to stick your key in it." - Jeff Foxworthy |

| Re: did anyone read this? Reminds me of a friend that used to travel to Indianapolis a lot, for business. He would regularly come back from trips with trophies, from bracket (drag) racing his rental cars.
He said they were very consistent, which is what wins in the brackets. Full-throttle against the rev limiter, dump the clutch and shift when the limiter kicks in.  |
