Please, if you enjoy the video and want to say something positive, go ahead. If you want to critize/flame me for being childish, irresponsible, "ricey", etc, don't (not that people won't).

Remember when some of you guys bought your Z and it had 15 miles of the odometer? Well, 12 of them were on test drives like this video shows....

You can check out Hertz online and looks for something like "fun car" or "fun day" etc. I don't think they have them at all locations. I got my at Miami International Airport. They also rent the new MX-5 Miata's.

if he didn't sign the form, then in theory, he should be clean as a whistle. as for the head and taillights, someone might notice if they're 06s and comes back 03s. but then again, you live only once.

kit (by no means agreeing to swapping out parts from a rental)

They may not notice right away, but they WILL find out and trace it back to every person that has rented the car.

and how would they actually prove who did it? there would be no way possible, unless they took photo's of the vehicle everytime it was returned
