I travel a lot. That's not the first time I've typed that sentence. I occasionally report on my !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . So far I've had some alright cars, but nothing to get excited about. After turning in my so-so Nissan Rogue (more on that in a different post), I strolled past this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . It was definitely eye watering. I mean it. I had to wipe tears away knowing this was here for the taking.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
A few things jumped out at me. First was the placement of "Hertz" within what would have been the Mustang logo. It's interesting, but more in the way !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! is interesting. That's probably not a compliment.
Next I noticed the Boss 302 Front Splitter, which is interesting in a really good way.
So now that our rental car is firmly planted to the ground, let's stop it with some Brembo brakes, shall we? Of course those light weight Ford racing wheels won't hurt either.
And overall, it's really a nice paint scheme. Even out in the wild without the control of its Ford caretakers. It appears this one is so new, that it doesn't even have plates yet, so perhaps I would've been doomed with the Nissan Rogue no matter what.

Absolutely awesome. Better than a Hertz Mustang :-) I rented a really sweet 5-series one time in Germany. It was so much fun.

And land of 200 octane if you want! ($2.65 (Euro) a liter and you need about 60 liters to fill it!) Oh well, rocket fuel for the mountains was my take on it.

Hertz has done that type of thing before. (the Hertz GT-350 Mustangs).
Was that at the Sunport?

It was. The cars have only just started to show up and be available. So, your assignment is to go out and rent it, flail it around and return with a report :-)

Sounds like a good assignment. Hope I get an A.

That's pretty awesome. I would have similarly been sad to miss that as my rental.

Every so often back in the day, one of my buddies would rent an Elise from Enterprise. Good times were had.
