In Seattle, many of the curbs were more like ramps up to the sidewalks, so we drove the PT Cruiser on the sidewalk instead :)

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

LOL. Statistically speaking, if you go by rental company records, I'm sure they indicate that no one has ever driven a car, prior to picking up the rental.

You ever taken a rental and used it for spare parts? Not to say that I have. I'm just saying... Image

sure is nice of you to not sue them, seeing as how they gave you a rental with very badly warped rotors...

oh dear god... so many moths later.. subaru releases the new WRX that resembles a mazda3. Did subaru break into our site and come across that pic? Was I the one to plant that idea in their head?! Was I the one to curse the subaru/mazda look-alike merge?!

I'm sorry!!!

So your tires are bald as an eagle amd you don't have the cash to get new ones. Inspections are at the end of the month and you need to keep your hoopty rolling. What to do?

Most likely, you are running your tires on steel wheels, maybe with hubcaps. You see what bolt pattern & offset they have and looks to see what other cars have the same.

If those cars just happen to be in a rental company's harrem, legal tires are just $42 away! Well, that and a lug wrench & jack...

I challange you to find a rental car that has wheels that would clear da brakes of my car.

If you do, tell me who it is so that I can "give them some business"...
