RECALL: Post an image of your loaner car in horrible places.

HAHA I think this is a great topic.
Anyway... While your getting your recall completed, post pictures of you taking your POS loaner to places it shouldnt be, doing things it shouldnt be doing.


LOL


And dont show the License plate.

I wanted to get my loaner onto the track, that would have been fun. But my loaner was not a POS, and I din't taek any pictures of it anyway, only had it for a day and a half. But good idea, can't wait to see where this one goes.

I guess nobody reads the fine print on those contracts they sign when they pick up the “loaner “ from Enterprise. There are many things you can do with a rental that would void the agreement. Only the customer thinks of it as a loaner car. To Mazda and the car rental company you are renting a car and the dealership is paying the bill. If you were to do something that voided the contact and caused damage your insurance would not cover you. Auto insurance only works when you abide by the rental agreement. A simple example is you have an 18 year-old kid in the house and you let them use the rental and they get into an accident. Unless you remembered to add the kid to the rental contract you voided the agreement and your liable for the damages. I base this on nine years of having worked in car rental. When driving someone else’s car you should be very mindful of what you could be liable for.

A previous generation Kia Rio....without any options and with 35K miles all care of Enterprise. Do they always stock the crappiest cars?

Attached a pic of my gray beauty.

Enterprise always buys the base models. Though I've noticed Hertz seems to carry the top teir or the middle line models. I got a Buick LaCrosse CTX (or CXT I forget) from Hertz after my car accident from Hertz. Leather heated seats, XM Radio, Traction Control (with option to turn it off hehe) with 200hp and 230torque thing had ***** I'll have to admit. Had it for about 3 weeks, and I'd highly recomend it for anyone wanting a nice car but not a Cadi. Anyways yeah my mazda has Enterprise and I get friggin' Cobalts or Fusions base models that are slow as fuque!

I might take pictures of my loaner in some odd place's for shyts and giggles nothing really "wrong!".

And Expo is right if you read the agreement taking it to tracks, drags or street racing your "loaner" will void your contract and you'll pay out big! When I got the LaCrosse the Hertz employee was very stern about saying those things. I just replied to him "I just got in a major car accident I doubt I'll be doing any street racing.", though a week later I'm burning the hell out of the tires offa street lights and from my street hehe..

Q: What's the difference between a Humvee and a rental car?















A: There are things that you actually wouldn't do in the Humvee.
