it might appear worthless at first glance, until you think about the secondary market of providing fodder for blog posts for sites trying to fill out their quota

Yeah? You must be absolutely thrilled by this game

Thank you for doing more research than the actual jalopnik author of this article, that context is a lot more helpful.

exactly. not only that but many times after they receive the car back they “FORGET” to tell the cops it had been returned so the next person who borrows it gets arrested for grand theft auto and Hertz has been just ignoring the people who are getting charged.

Sounds like customer service hell (quite literally for this guy). I’ve never had to deal with anything that extreme, but I did have to take a loan dispute to the CFPB a couple years back before I could get anyone at the company to actually do what they were supposed to do. There’s no communication, nobody has any…

That 0.014 percent comes out to 3,500 people per year. That’s a lot of people.

That 0.014 percent of 25 million might not seem like a lot at first glance. But it’s really just wordplay on a PR spin. That 0.014 percent comes out to 3,500 people per year. That’s a lot of people. Also notice that Hertz says “exhaustive attempts to reach the customer.” That’s pretty much saying the company is…

ACAB.

MOAR POWAA BABY!!!

If you’re in a Porsche, you’ve already won.

This is a complicated topic with a bunch of different variables beyond immediate returns, but this math is a little fuzzy:

The CC R line is a great ride for a Fortunate Son who was Born on the Bayou.

Grew up and currently live in the DMV. Can confirm that I am an asshole.

*SIGH* I’m a bit tired of people test-driving a 20+ year old car and claiming it was “underwhelming” without context. If the transmission, engine, and suspension were thrashed, your sample-size of “1" is irrelevant.

Exactly on the GTI. If you want a sports car get a sports car. If you need more practicality or don’t have room in the garage or budget for a second car but still want something that’s fun to drive, the GTI fills that need and more. It’s the car you can use to drop off the kids at school, bomb up to the track on…

100% correct take on the GTI. The Mk 3 and Mk4 were a bit of a dog, but the rest have been way more fun than the sensible engined versions of the same car.  And, in the European  context,  they are great cross country cars when roads are tight , full of off camber, twists and crests.  A nimble hot hatch will leave…

Yeah, I wouldn’t call it fast, but it did make a difference, especially in the mid range.  I remember he could rip past us on the road at will.

I’m 100% ready to spend $80K on this FJ if only it did not require premium unleaded for the supercharger. Can’t afford the cost of premium.

Sounds like South Phila rules
