If you option it right, it can do amazing things. Sadly, most are just optioned for car pool duty.

Technically they had not returned it yet. According to the contract, it is returned when an employee inspects the car on the next business day.

Punching someone in the neck?

They're only backing off because of public perception. That's the only reason. It would hold up in court because it is directly stated in the contract that the renter is responsible for all damage, loss, or theft, until an employee inspects the car on the next business day. They are only voiding the contract because

I worked at a rental agency for three summers during college. I know what goes on. In our contracts, the vehicle is still in the customer's possession until a member of our staff checks it in. This is pretty much the industry standard (at least our company, Enterprise, and the other two rental agencies at our airport

It would be incredibly expensive. Enterprise has over 1 million vehicles. Imagine the lo jack bill for that.

This policy is pretty much the industry standard. I work for a rental agency, and I know that us, and the three other companies in my town all have the exact same policy. It's the only thing that stops people from stealing or damaging the car, and claiming it was not their fault, the parking lot did it.

Enterprise owns over 1 million vehicles. The cost of GPS tracking would be incredible.

It's not just Enterprise. Just about every rental agency has the same policy. The car is in possession of the customer until an employee inspects it. According to the contract that she signed, it was still in her possession.

No it does not. It is specifically stated in the contract that liability ends when an employee inspects the car. According to the contract, she just dumped the car in a parking lot where it was stolen.

I worked at a car rental place for a while. Only about half of the cameras actually work, so there was no way to prove if she turned the car back in or not.

If she just dumped the car in a parking lot, how is it back in Enterprises possession? If my car gets stolen at a Walmart, is it Walmart's fault?

People never read what they are signing. I worked for a rental agency for a while and we had the same policy. The parking lot is not secured enough to prevent damage so there's no way to tell if you stole it or if it was someone else. You can't just leave valuable assets in public and expect everything to be perfect.

Meh. The front end looks like it was designed in 1999.

I would have at least 3 Cord L'29's

Toyota Hilux

If you ever drive an Avanti, would would know exactly why it never died. It is hands down one of the best cars I have ever driven (I drove a 1963 Studebaker, and a 1969 Newman and Altman Avanti II). Perfect ergonomics, tons of power, fun to drive, beautiful interior, fun interior touches like switches on the ceiling

The Aztec never actually won any awards, so the media seems to agree with you.

Edit: the only thing it won was a customer satisfaction survey in 2001, so the owners liked it.

Hey that Chrysler was decent and pretty competitive when it first came out. They just never updated it and let it fall behind everyone else so in the end it seemed utterly terrible, but only because it had aged.
