my first camaro was a hertz rental car, had zero problems with it, was a great car while I had it!

Rented a Cadillac once and was delayed getting back to the airport. Had to make up time, so some spirited driving took place. Hard on the tires and especially the brakes. Got back to the airport, no time for a cool down lap. The brakes and exhaust were making the hot popping sound, you could feel the heat. Parked it and made the flight!

What a total asshole that guy is. I'm sure the loser couldn't afford to buy a Camaro so he rents one and beats the shit out of it. I can understand driving a rental car a little rough but what he did was inexcusable!

If I was the Camaro I would've launched his *** right out of the sunroof and took off.

Still not as bad as what the Jackass guys did with a rental.
