Default Rent-A-S

Has anyone heard of anyone that will rent an S? I've found places that rent Boxters, PT Cruisers, Hummers, etc but no S2k's. I'm thinking of buying one and would really like to spend a day in one first before making the commitment. Can't really learn much from a 15 minute test drive. Thanks.

find out how much it costs to rent the car of comparable value......

and pending we draw up a contract that states if you mess up my car in any way you are liable, i will seriously let you drive my S for the day.

i'd prolly have to get my lawyer to draw up a contract similar to that of the rental place....but it'd be well worth it....for both me and you...

if your credit is high enough they will, but then there's the age thing...my credit score is right at 750 which is really good for a 22 year old...but then again, i'm a 22 year old...so they prolly wouldn't let me take it home and drive it for a few days...

Thanks for the offer Flip but I'd feel too cautious with someones personal ride. Like I've said I've found places that rent just about everything else but no S's. Maybe it has something to do with the fact it doesn't come with an auto trans? I test drove an 04 at Carmax the other day and was surprised of the room considering I'm 6'2". I'm in no hurry at the moment so I may go to a couple Honda dealers over the next couple months to get extra time in it before I make a decision. I think the only time they let you take the car home overnight is if its a mini van or some other lame vehicle that they know you won't take down to MSR Houston or Raceway Park.
