I was at a concert in the Woodlands, Judas Priest for the curious, and I was advised to valet my car at the hotel early in the evening to avoid parking problems. I waited and watched to my satisfaction that the car was handled well. (My car had long tube headers, no cats, and Corsa exhaust - it rumbled deep and got…

who remembers these?? mid engine, rear wheel drive minivan. available with a manual trans too, and an All-Trac with a supercharger and AWD.

I wonder how is lovely and VERY PREGNANT wife are doing. After abandoning her did she cross the border at some point or is still in NY?

I'll try to look up the exact source, but I remember reading a few years ago about how deadly I-81 had become, but that was more due to increased tractor-trailer traffic.

To be fair to Northern/Eastern Virginia: from Virginia Beach up I-64 to Richmond and up I-95 up to the DC Beltway, they simply have WAY too many…

I hate to ask this but — has he checked gas cap? Obviously not many brand new cars have CELs go on.

I rent with National. The Emerald Aisle, lets me cherry pick and avoid clapped out rentals. I look for low milage, SAT radio, and the absence of sticky stains or heavy "you should have seen what we cleaned out of this one" chemical smells. I travel 95% and spend 2 weeks at a time in a car, so I'm also not above…

Any time is past the Aveo's prime.

Oh, that's not anywhere near the record. I once transported a 2011 Chevy Aveo with around 67k miles on it that Hertz couldn't get rid of even as a wholesale. That's way out of the norm, though. 50k is pushing it.

The Corvette was awesome. I seriously considered buying one after the rental, but it's way too fast for mere mortal roads. It gets up to serious illegal speeds before you realize it. In the week that I had it, I never tired of flooring under every overpass to listen to the exhaust note. It had the magneto suspension…

When I was working at Hertz not too long ago they were holding on to these cars alot longer than we were used to. I can specifically remember being told to tell customers that our cars were two model years old or newer one month, to being told not to mention it anymore the next. We saw cars that were 3 and 4 years…

Had a Mustang in Tampa in Sept that had 48k on the odo.

It's been getting longer lately. I'm a frequent National renter and it used to be rare for me to see any mileage over 25,000. Lately I've had a couple of cars (an Impala and an Altima) both over 40,000. And I've seen enough stories of cars over 50,000 to make me think it's getting pretty commonplace.

Wow, that's impressive. I thought I had the rental car mileage record when I got a Corvette with 35k miles on it. That was also probably the most worn out and falling apart 35k mile car in existence. The front tires were still the Goodyear Eagle F1s the car came with. The rear tires were something like Sumitomo HTRs…

It depends on the car. I used to work at Enterprise and the cheap ones were kept the longest because they lost the least value. Luxury cars were ditched almost immediately.

Typically they go 1-20k in airport locations (business customers), 20-30 in neighborhood locations (weekend/loaner car customers).

You know what, these things felt relatively quick for their day with the 5 speed. At least for a kid with an Acura Integra - the torque of the comparatively massive V6 in my friends Maxima was some exciting stuff.
