Let me think, its been a while but a certain Neon- white, auto, was rented by a buddy of mine for 3 months.
During this time it participated in no less than these activities and maybe more that I forgot.
1- got completely vinyl lettered of this guys company for ad purposes- however the vinyl was cut at times on the car....
2- ran several autocross events with CADL- back in the Canadair lot- yeah wayyy back probably 1995 or 1996..
3- ran hot laps around the industrial condo lot where said business was-
4- did repeated brake tests in front of said commerce- just to see how red the discs could glow.
5- when satisfied with glowing red fronts- we ran the car with handbrake up for several laps to see if we could get all 4 discs red hot- nice , real nice.
6- On highway 15 south, with no cars around , we went from drive to PARK with a swift kick of the shifter- wow the parking pin makes a nice noise at speed until it goes TOK when slowed down- I think the pin was round when we were done with it.
7-ran the car in 1st gear- from Laval to Metropolitan- several times... yeah the car just does 90kph on the cut off- wow the cut off never wore out.
8- hand brake skids... O plenty-
9- hand brake burn outs ... O plenty
Moral of this story- the rental agency got back to us with a bill for frt brakes and 2 worn tires- $400...... well worth the abuse.
The car never broke, never died and always up for anything we could throw at it...... but NEVER EVER buy a used car from rental companies- you might just get one of these cars.....
