I'm Firebird-less today

I dropped her off for a repair. I'm driving around in a Nissan something. I thought is was a Toyota, but my wife told me it said Nissan on the front.

I'm trying hard to wear out the carpet under the gas pedal.

The guy at Enterprise advised me that I'd be responsible for any scratches over 6 inches.

I replied, "Got it- unlimited free scratches under 6 inches." The poor Enterprise guy had a stunned look on his face after that remark.

Re: I'm Firebird-less today

I went a rental car, I'd be doing neutral bombs all day. LOL at the comment. You should just leave 5 inch scratches everywhere.

Whats getting done to the bird?

Re: I'm Firebird-less today

My roommate is in the police Academy and he did the driving training a week or so ago, and I was stunned when he told me that they used rentals... The police academy rents them from Enterprise for the weekend and literally beats them to within inches of still being operable... They don't wreck them or anything, but my roommate said that the car his group was in didn't shift into reverse or O/D by the time they were done with it, and the engine was knocking like crazy... lol...

Re: I'm Firebird-less today

When I was in high school, I got rear ended in front of the school, and my car was in the bodyshop, they gave me a rental. It was a huge POS, tranny slipped, it smoked, looked like hell, etc...

One day we decided we were gonna "jump" it off this little dirtpile that was off the road, well, after about the 4th time of hitting this dirtpile, the engine cradle broke off the car and the motor and trans were just laying on the ground.

We had one of my buddies come hook up a tow strap to the car, pull it a half a block down the street and called the body shop told them the car broke down and they needed to come tow it.

I think they sent it to the junk yard

Hurray, the Osprey is back in action.

I had a crack in the timing chain cover and was constantly losing coolant. I had the timing chain cover replaced.

No scratches over six inches on the rental.

LOL...hey I just dropped off a Kia Rio at Enterprise today.

I paid $67 more for going over 1400 miles. The trip to Wyoming to S. Dakota did me in.

I didn't get to see much of Yellowstone because of the darn fire :(
