However, front drive rental cars do allow you to crank the parking brake as tight as possible, and do as much of a front wheel burnout as you can.Quote:

Do you have space so I can park my car on the way to Beartooth this summer and use yours?
Speaking of which, anyone here ever put their car on Turo? When I heard of the idea I thought there was no way it would take off, not because people wouldn't want the service, but because people wouldn't want strangers destroying their cars. I know a bunch of folks who rent cool cars on Turo and dig it but I cannot fathom being on the other end. My friend bought a gallardo and popped it on there for like $500 day in Hawaii. He obviously shares some of that with the company, but he says he easily covers his monthly nut and more so even if people are beating the shit out of it, he has a gallardo to drive once in awhile free of charge. We will see what sort of war chest he built up when someone leaves the transmission on the Pali.
What the fuck? I cannot fathom renting out a Lamborghini to strangers, specially Hawaiian tourists who are renting a lambo.Quote:

I suppose it’s a bit like renting an airbnb - high upfront overhead, someone else paying for your equity, having the ability to use the item yourself. Major difference being the depreciation. Not where I’d put money that for damn sure. Whatever happens, he’s gonna be left with a husk of a car. Even if it’s paid off and he covered insurance and maintenance for the life of the thing, seems like too much work.Quote:

Subscribed, I *think* we are going to try this here with turo. 2014 Escort, kind of an extra car that we don’t use, and are going to give to our son in two years. Pretty sure we reserve the right to vet the fuck out of potential renters, I want to run a credit report!
If they come back and there is even a whiff of smoke, bam, $1000 surcharge.
I’ll let y’all know how it goes.
$250 a day seems to be the going rate, which even after 35% to Turo, is still $1000 a week.
One week minimum.
I heard about people renting uhaul trucks for Hawaii vacation...
Anyway, I rather just sell it with bald tires now. I bet buyers won’t care about tires.
