I guarantee you could probably get away with the tails, the headlights, maybe not. If someone does that, don't come on the forum braggin' about it.

why stop there. Wait and rent a 07 and swap engines. or maybe the transmission, clutch or rims. Take fluids too, the airfilter and maybe some interior parts!!! so many things to jack!


great vid btw. I know some local club guys that rented a colbalt and took it to a hpde and raced it. Theyve got video, just have to find it.

Just change the vin # and keep their car and give them yours, tell them you did nothing but drive the car if you have more miles on your old car lol

Since the subject now shifted to evil deeds heres one:
A guy has a Red Vette set up to road race, Big Block, Gail Banks Twin turbos
sway bars teflon bushings etc. Goes to mall and steals the license plate off
another red Vette in the mall parking lot. Speeds for hours on local roads driving local
cops crazy. Throws stolen plate in a ladle of steel. I've said too much already!

Looks like an average day for me haha, and again seems like you had quite some fun in an auto. Yes, i would never buy a used rental, but i did all that after i broke my car in, and whats wrong with the car? Needs tires, not like he went offroading or hittin curbs. The car is fine. I highly doubt autoX is any better for your car lol.

If you look up their websites you can rent over 18, you just pay a penalty. I looked it up before i got my Z, i wanted to take one out for a day, but they didnt have any in my area.

Back when Hertz first rented out the Shelby's in the 60's, people were swapping left and right...then Hertz caught on.

There were 1001 GT 350s ordered by Hertz for rental car purpose. The cars sported side stripes that read GT 350H, however the public began calling these cars "Rent-a-Racers." Many Mustang owners rented Shelbys for $17 per day in order to switch their regular Mustang engine with the supercharged Shelby engine. After the swap the Shelby was returned to Hertz and nobody was the wiser, that is until Hertz starting catching on. Approximately 800 "rent-a-racers" were made in black and the other 200 distributed between blue, red, white, and green. The black models and some white models came with stripes from the factory, yet many owners added stripes when they restored the vehicle.

you're obviously young and ignorant. The title says HERTZ in it. You don't think Hertz doesn't search the web for ppl who show off abuse? They already caught a guy showing off burn out in a HERTZ rented Mustang and sued him for the cost of the car. So who's the idiot?
