Default Vegas

I just got back from Las Vegas....
There is an exotic car rental place right on the strip next to the Hotel I stayed at. A beautiful selection of exotics lined up for all to see and rent by the hour...
Ferraris, Porsches, vettes, Lotus, and a shiny yellow s2k. It made me all warm and fuzzy to see my exact car mixed in with those exotics.....and made me realize how much I missed my car.....

I did not stop in and see how much it would cost ( should have)....and I bet those cars are in bad shape mechanically since they have a different driver all the time whose only intent is to drive the crap outta of it in a short period of time....

Yeah.. I wanted to rent it but I didn't cuz 300 bucks USD is steep. If I were to rent one of those cars it would be the ferrari which is 900 something.

And I think you need to put down a deposit/down payment in case you damage the car that you rent...

One of my friends rented a Lambo in Vancouver on his bday weekend, it costed him close to 5 grands and a good amount of deposit...although you can have the deposit back but it's still alot of money to just drive the car for 3 days...

Meh... ppl rent them for show. Besides.. I remember the sheet saying you only get 50 miles. I swear I saw this guy in a rental ferrari driving up and down the strip at least 5 times while I was walking. He was alone in the car.

Hmm.. I might have taken a pic of him.. gotta find it.
