My rental is so PATRIOTIC

I have this 2014 Corvette Stingray for the weekend in Orange County with my girlfriend. So far we just drove down the PCH and enjoyed some top down cruising. Taking the roof off is quite the adventure since it’s a removable panel, not a convertible. I’ll have to time it at some point but the first time took about 20 minutes since I had to read the manual first.

Also, skip shift is weird but not that intrusive. I ignored it every time and it went away quickly. I’m liking the power and the noise it makes though. Something about no replacement for displacement! It is a huge car though. I have no idea where the passenger side edges are. It’s fine parking with the mirrors but just squeezing through gaps on the road feels extra sketchy.

Looking forward to a few days of fun! But I’m just not putting the roof back on until I return it. Way too difficult to bother with.

Using Turo?

Do the headlights work?

I was somewhat concerned about this. They are bright enough though, no issues so far!

Yes indeed! I think this is like the sixth car I rented through Turo.

‘12 Mini Cooper S, ‘14 Scion FRS, ‘09 Porsche Cayman, ’15 Nissan 370z, ‘15 Infiniti Q40. Everything has been manual other than the Infiniti.

This vette though is by far the fastest. Although I still liked the Cayman more though because you had to work for it.

Nice! There seems to be some pretty cool stuff on there; also, obligatory “yeah bro, I tinted my headlights so they work less!”

Yes, quite the questionable choice but it looks cool at least. I wouldn’t do it myself but the lights seem to work fine so it’s okay by me. Must have some bright ass HIDs (factory installed).
