Couldn't agree more with you, Bill! Buying ex-rentals and ex-taxis is a BIG [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/nono.gif[/img] !

Can't say I haven't beat up on a few rentals every now and then [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img]

That is however, one way to have fun in a mustang and not have to worry about ruining your own though

The rental company probably has..it's being shown all over the web..... I was much easier on a 04 V6 vert rental in Cali. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img] I asked for a yellow vert and the car was sitting in the back brand new waiting for it's first run from LA to San Diego 3 times in one week.

Ford could take advantage of that video with it showing that even the V6 has got some power.

I might rent one for a weekend. I can freshen up my driving skills.
Maybe I'll even try drifting.

I sure underestimated the V6. I would like to drive one to compare to my GT. I didn't know they rocked like that. Great video !

Maybe Ford can pick up on this and do something like the Shelby GT350H. Have a drift session this weekend and don't have a car? No problem, Hertz has you covered! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrinjester.gif[/img] Oh yeah, Ford just sold them off not too long ago... shucks!

Purty cool. I wonder if they washed off the rear fender(s) before returning it? Yeah right! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img]
