Beating the Loaner

Anyone have any good stories about beating up a loaner or rental? I had an Alero as a rental and was quite impressed with it's handeling. It also has a very stiff construction. I parked it with the front left wheel driven about 4 feet up a really steep embankment resulting in a huge rear 3-wheel. All the doors open and shut fine...I was impressed. They also do great e-brake slides.

I have a 2001 EL 1.7. This thing has no power.. But neutral drops can get the tires barking..

I don't know if you guys in the states have this car.

A long time ago, after a wreck in my friends' Accord, he got a f***in Geo Metro loaner for 3 weeks. POS!!

We has sooooo much fun tearing that car up, we only used the hand brake the whole time. Did slides into parking spots a the grocery stores and malls, and all that type of fun stuff!!

When we took it back it had 3 bald tires and a worn out hand brake. Not to mention that the tranny was a little messed up too!!!

That is what they get for giving us a POS loaner car!!!
