I don't really beat on rentals....kinda a fish-in-a-barrel thing. But I will be a total slob in them....y'know, playing the stereo so that speakers are about to blow, throwing slider boxes on the floor, maybe even tearing a$$ in it once or twice. :SHOCKED:

When I was Evil and raised at a Evil petting zoo here are some things we did.
1) Returned a U-Haul truck and filled the tank with water.
2) Took the dolly and blankets home with us.
3) Switched Radios (Enterprise)
4) Switched Tires(Alamo)
5) Rode 5 miles with the e-brake on until the rear tires blew out. Then called Wrent-A-Wreck and told them they rented us a POS. (Wrent-A-Wreck)
6) Took spare and jack home. (Alamo)
7) Punched the front windshield out, then kicked it out all the way while laughing. (Enterprise)
8) Parked one in NWK key in it to see how long it would take before it was stolen. (Alamo)
Again long,long time ago. Then you guys wonder why I had to repent :daz:

Most I ever did was light the duals up on one of the older Ford P/U ones with a 390 in it in downtown Seattle. Manual transmission.....all up hills.....I had no choice.

I tried that once in my uncles Ford wrecker in Seaside on the strip, like a moron at 18, I brought it up to about 5,000rpm and dumped the clutch in front of a crowd, the pinion gear shot out of the rear and landed across the street. Try explaining that one at 2.00am :albert:

Me and a couple friends rented a ford focus, it wouldn't spin the tires so we chained it to a tree. Burnouts were not a problem after that. Another friend needed a trans for his f-150, he rented one from u-haul and we swapped transmissions. He brought it back 2 hours later, said the trans was slipping, and got his money back. I have more, but I'm not sure the statute of limitations has expired yet...

I had an 05 mustang rental car in florida this past year. My favorite was the sand roads (rally style) and going really fast in reverse them popping it into first gear. I did quite a few e brake 180s and even a couple 360s in a wet wal mart parking lot. A friend of mine got rear ended in his camaro so while they were getting it fixed he got a cavalier rental. We took it "mudding" in the field behind my house. Never got stuck but there wasnt a single clean body panel on the whole car. There were weeds, sticks, mud and leaves packed in every crevice of the undercarriage of that car. Another asshole thing we did was taking it through the drive through car wash right afterward. That really left a mess.

Damn yall are some brave individuals. I :applaus: you all. The worst thing i have ever done to a rental is took it "puddle jumping in the hurricanes in Florida last year. The puddles where over the hood so i guess you wouldn't call them puddles lol. The worst thing i have ever seen anyone do to a rental is take a Trail Blazer out to the mud hole in florida and destroy the rear end in it. Harry

We needed a truck to prepare to go to one of the Buick events. So I went to Enterprise and rented a Cadillac Sedan Deville. Used a couple coupons, so we paid the econo-box rate (lowest rate they had for their top of the line car) and took it home. Now, to turn it into a truck, we gutted the interior except for the front seats. Load it up (2 easy up tents, tables, parts and all the stuff for sale) and the air ride was dying trying to keep the back of the car level. Rode to and from the event in Caddy luxury. Got home, unloaded and put back the interioe with a minimal amount of effort. It's amazing how many extra fasteners and stuff that's not really needed in one of those cars. :shock:

The worst I've ever seen was on the British TV show TopGear. They wanted to test and see if you really are safe in a car if it's hit by lightning. They went to a plant in Germany (only place that would allow the to sit in the vehicle while doing the experiment). The plant generated multiple 800,000 volt lightning strikes directly into the roof of the car. The guy inside was fine.
Since no car manufacturer would loan them a car to do this, they rented one. When they took it back they were asked what happened to the missing paint on the roof. :goldcup: I don't think it gets much better than that.

Not on the level as you guys but I usually do the typical beat on it crap.
Was up at a training school in Minot, ND... I know a Ford Focus station wagon(rental) will boil the front pass side tire until the car is beyond engulfed in smoke :rock: .
I know the people at the corner gas station were thinkin'... what the?
2 of my classmates were with me in the car and the guy in the pass seat was like do it again and the chick in the back was all quite, think she said Boys, Boys, Boys :rock:
Not destructive but funny
Had a rental in Japan and the front struts were just obliterated and the front suspension would just float full tilt up in the air if you timed the throttle right. Well me and the wife were in it and I got a little carried away boucin the crap out of it and we both got a bit seasick..did not spew, but queezy....LOL

I had a pontiac bonniville brand new 300 miles on it rental one time... Always wanted to know what would happen if you were doing 50mph or so and threw it in park! :shock: I bet that car has been to the trans shop several times since I rented it! :add_wegbr

i have had my share of wild rental blasts but what me and my buddies have done was swapped parts off of cars at used car lots. if a car had what we wanted or didnt have, well just take it for a test drive and swing by the garage and swap. :racer:

Rediculously Disgusting!You should be ashamed of yourselves!Those rental places get rid of them before the factory warranty expires,they don't do any maintenance and then some person goes and buys it used off of a used car lot.Wouldn't want that on my conscience! :as:
