I got me a new daily driver!
 

Well, as you may remember, a jack @ss t boned me while making an illegal u turn across 4 lanes. My brand new 3 week old 2009 C-C300 4-matic Mercedes is smashed and it waiting for the insurance company/ body shop and dealer to fix it.

So, now for a loaner. I went to Enterprise and they gave me a 2009 Chevy Silverado extended cab - it had 170 miles on it so brand new. Within 5 minutes I confirmed to myself that I hate pick up trucks.

So, I began calling them for an alternate car. They kept on promising me they would get other cars in.....and after constant calls I told them I would return the truck and go to another Enterprise - this seemed not to bother them.

So, I go in this past Friday, spend like 1 hr waiting for a car. They offered me a Ford whatever, I was like NO. They offered a durrango, I was like HELL NO. They offered a Lincoln Towncar, again HELL NO!. I was almost sold on a Pontiac G6 GT...... and the guy says why don't we take a look in the back - I said sure why not.

So, we are walking back there and I see my dream car (no, not a dodge neon) and I jokingly say I'lll take that one! He says sure. I am like..... are you kidding me? He says no. I say, is it really a rental car??? He says yup. I'm still not believing him and then he unlocks the car and hands me the keys?!?!?!?

Yes, the new SEXINESS:

I've got it for probably the next month.

I pay $1 per day for it ;) Work covers the first $45 for a loaner!

It's a v6 and is surprisingly peppy. Now, it seems very happy in my driveway so now I start saving for an R/T version!

And yes, I will take it to the track :)

LOL

HAHA nice...beat the piss outta it james...just don't crash

i must say... they are beautiful cars... i would definitely drive one any day. its definitely styled better than the new camaro but i still am planning on getting the new camaro

very nice very nice

w00t James finally got a tank :rofl:

Nice James, definitely cooler than the average rental car.

Glad I wasn't the only one thinking that ;)

::waits for BiGals::

V6 is peppy? Surprising.

And great looking cars...unless you're directly behind one.

james needs a tank!!!

drive it like bo duke

It is just plain gorgeous!

I would definately say the 215 60 17 tires are WAY too narrow!

I've already recieved a couple compliments at the gas station..... to which I say it isn't mine, just a rental.

I found one magazine that got 15.6 out of one...... slow..... very slow but what do you expect.... 250 hp ain't enough power for a 3800 lb car. But, quicker than my v6 f body was when it was stock/ slightly modified.

Very enjoyable on a long drive...... and best part is I have unlimited miles on the car :)

Only sucky thing is, when pricing out an R/T......I hit about $36XXX.... at that point, might as well get an SRT8 for $41XXX....... now I just gotta convince the wife to get me one!!!!

haha nice James!

I can see it now...James runs the car at the track and a wild dingo runs out onto the track causing $5K worth of damage to the car lol...of course he's not injured. ;)

And then I get out of the car.... ands get struck by lightning :rofl:

erupting in flames.

Very nice car.

hahaha

No comment.
Question for you though...with Chrysler selling to Fiat, did Diamler ever get rid of teh 20% they owned before hand, or no?

Mopar Or No Car.:headbang:

... no.

James, is this one getting some NAWWWZZZZZZZZZ?!?! :lol:

I already said you could have one. You just need to find the money to have it. Lol.

Uh oh, that means James will be "working late" to raise the cash! :lol:

Wanna go for a ride in it ;)

You might change your mind :rofl:

To my knowledge, they still have 20%...... but the past week or so I am uncertain.

lets go fishing :)

Sure, but Ive driven a bunch of LX cars.
All of them feel like the suspension is made of used tea bags compared to the G8.
