Happy Chinese New Years everyone!
Hopefully everybody got the day off today, surprisingly work was cancelled (which has never happened since I've been there) but I still had to go to class (boo!). Either way, enjoyed the day, got a bunch of errands done. The 4Runner did great, no probs in the snow, only in my neighborhood I was screwing around in 2wd and came a bit close to a Honda, but alls good

I took mine to Auto Addictions in Rochester Hills. Paint cracked like Hell. I really didn't care for their attitude there. I asked to watch from the garage door and they quoted some BS about insurance. I understand that but I was going to be outside looking in. I feel they didn't use enough heat. I'd buy the tool, do it myself then sell the tool for 75% before going there again.

So I'm heading out for a vacation in Vegas on the 23rd... I am thinking about renting a 996 while I'm there. :P For $209/day I get 100 miles in the 996 or for $159/day it's 100 miles in a Z4....
Talk me into or out of this brilliant idea. Any suggestions on rental companies out there?

I thought about doing the job myself with a baseball pat but i didnt want to crack the paint I have never done it before so i don't want to mess it up.
I am looking for a shop that will do it right and wont mess it up for me.

lee, do it! the trip will be much better if you do. and, while you're there - try and catch the Cirque show 'Love' at the Mirage, where it's all Beatles music. we just got back a few weeks ago and it was AMAzing.
stay away from Fox rentals. i reserved a new camaro, and got stuck with a convertible mustang. they're cheap for a reason...

However, I would rent an expensive car or even an exotic in places where I can drive. An example is Hawaii.

I would not rent an expensive car in or around Vegas. Most people go and stay around the strip and its too busy to drive a car around there. The way I did it on our Vegas trip is got drunk, went to some nice bars, saw some shows and when had some idle time did some gambling.
