my rental
 
i got the worst car ever as a rental while mine is in the shop its a chevy cobalt 4dr sedan with no cruise or anything but luckil it has a/c unlike my 8. i hope they dont take too long with my car, this rental has horrible turning and is all over the road on the highway.

Once you hit 100 the downforce makes it a much better ride. Just kidding. My friend has a 2 dr cobalt like that and it blows no matter the situation. MPG is good though.

yeah that is true about the gas mileage but other than that its horrible and i miss the sound of my rotary engine

i have an 08 kia spectra right now. the only way the front tires spin is if you corner HARD and put it in low gear. i did drive into a field, engage the parking brake, and gun it...it's pretty fun to drag ass around a field. you should try it with the cobalt.

I got a Hyundai Elantra for a rental earlier this year with 3 completely bald tires. It also rained that day. That car scared the crap out of me, it would slide forever anytime I applied the brakes. I almost wrecked it 3 times in a row.

well i got my car back today but its still not fixed. i begged them to let me have it for the weekend and told them id bring it back on monday when they get the parts to fix it. which by the way im really good at tearing stuff up i broke a motor mount and didnt even know it lol. so im back in the 8 thank god the cobalt was fun. i went to walmart last night and ripped the e brake to park it sideways in like 4 spots but other than that i didnt do anything stupid other than run 100 down the highway tryin to top it out lol.

when my 8 was in the shop after some IDIOT backed into me, I was rolling around in a Chevy Malibu. Every time I took a turn, I died a little inside....




Didnt help that it smelled like old people :(
