Good taste is in short supply

In thinking about renting a special car for an upcoming vacation, but there are zero Bentleys or Aston Martins on offer in my area.

Bentley took an amazing car and made it even more beautiful. I’m smitten.

I can pick from literally dozens, if not hundreds, of Porsche 911s for rent here, but they’re a bit too ordinary for my tastes. In summer, if you throw a rock into traffic you’re more likely to hit a Porsche than a Corolla...

Lame. Maybe I’ll have to vacation elsewhere.

Poor choice of destinations - are you going to Myrtle Beach, the Dells or some other place where the poors drive their Porsches?

I’m technically not going anywhere. I want to rent from here at home in Montréal and drive up to Québec City. But I want to  feel like a fucking boss.

I would think there’s someone out there who would rent an Aston at least - but it would be big $ and have a mileage limit, I’m sure.

I haven't found any yet... and I'm a bit surprised. Even a 5-8 year old model would be great.

Have you tried Turo? I’m seeing a Continental Flying Spur, lots of MB AMGs, an F430, and a Gallardo at YUL.

Pricing is stupid on them - best deal is probably the Bentley at $530 loonies/day

The Ferraris and Lambos are fun but pricey... I’m looking for a proper, big GT car that's not as shouty as the Italians.

The Bentley sedan won’t cut it then?

It's not really what I was looking for. There's a red Jag that looks nice, that might work. I have to see how much I can afford, too.

Mod ern (VW) Bentleys look like shit any way. And no, the blobeye Subie wasn’t the best looking.

I think the Conti GT is amazing to look at. The Bentayga is not.

So I may have found a Bentley Continental GT . A limo/exotic rentals place has one on their online reservation system (but not on their fleet page) for $1600/day with a limit of 100 km per day.

This is the same place that advertises having an “Austin Martin”. Their web presence is absolute shit; it is hard to take a company like this seriously.

$ 15/km ? Such a bargain!
