Drive it like a rental

[Strangler Lewis]

As GD's behavior is perfectly normal, this thread puzzles me. There must be a hidden meaning, like rental is code for hooker, or something.

When I rent a car, I don't get their insurance, and with a $500 deductible on mine I'm responsible for the damage to at least that point. So I'm more carefull when renting.

That said, you made one point when you called it "Borrowing". My feeling is that when I borrow something, I want to return it in the same, or better condition than when I borrowed it. No matter if money changes hands as in a rental.

I do know people who are more reckless (or more willing to experiment) in rental cars. Not so much when they know damage will result.

For example, I was was in a care with a friend who wondered how fast he could go in second gear and proceeded to find out.
