We'll drive them for MILES in 1st gear with the e-brake engaged - on the highway (bucking/smoking/etc). Or be going 20-30mph and suddenly engage the e-brake to see how far we can slide the vehicle....etc etc etc
Seems ridiculous...but you have no idea how funny it is until people drive by staring with the oddest looks at your disabled/smoking/bucking vehicle as your rolling down an interstate.
The funny thing is, with most corporate rental agreements, all insurance is included and half the time the rental car company doesn't even ask what happened, they are just happy to get 2000-4000lbs of metal back to the lot.
We've done this to an H3 and ended up getting MONTHS of laughs out of the event....got it stuck in a snow embankment and ended up DRAGGING it out w/ a tow rope and a V8 Tundra. :-)
Dumbest thing you can ever do is buy a used rental vehicle.

Re: Buying a used H2 that was former rental??
I paid for use of the vehicle, so how i 'used' it is my business. I'm just telling you facts...next time I won't say anything and let you figure it out on your own. I didn't steal it and abuse it, it's a paid use. If you pay to ride in bumper cars, do you ride in circles trying not to hit anyone?
The rental car companies clearly don't give a sh!t, so why should I? If you knew how the rental car companies treated those vehicles (extremely limited maintenance/service - just get the car back on the road making the rental company money) you'd think twice too.

So now you're comparing a rental car to bumper cars.  You admit freely that you abuse other people's property just because you think they don't give a darn if you wreck it, just because it's insured through your company, which you are supposed to be a representative of...
That kind of behavior is sooooooooo immature.

Didnt think it was possible but this reply of yours is even dumber than your original post. RETARD!
"I paid for use of the vehicle, so how i 'used' it is my business. I'm just telling you facts...next time I won't say anything and let you figure it out on your own. I didn't steal it and abuse it, it's a paid use."

Maybe you were trying to satisfy your homosexual fixation on Tom Cruise by playing Days Of Thunder.
BTW, love the back-pedal.

Re: Buying a used H2 that was former rental??
Tully is in the vast minority...!
Most rentals are not abused, except by childish low-life immuture testacle-less morons !!!!!!!!
I know you already turned down the purchase but next time one comes up an important consideration is WHO is the warrenty offered through, GM, an insurance company, the dealer !!!
