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.

Don't forget about the shop thread - post up your experience to keep tabs on the who and who "not's" in the area..

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.

If you are driving towards Grand Canyon rent a FAST car. I was told that the freeway that goes from Vegas towards GC is out in the desert and you often see people hitting 150+
