Is anyone renting a Porsche to take it nice and easy? I seriously doubt it...
My biggest fear would be someone doing a money shift but it only taking a catastrophic shit months later so you had zero recourse. |

Is anyone renting a Porsche to take it nice and easy? I seriously doubt it... My biggest fear would be someone doing a money shift but it only taking a catastrophic shit months later so you had zero recourse. That's a real fear. Ask me how I know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Only catastrophic engine failure I've ever experienced while driving a Porsche on road or track was likely the result of someone else's missed shift—but all eyes were (of course) on the ass in the seat when a rod went through the case. Very awkward. Or just ask Jerry Woods, who was called as an expert witness to testify that once rod bolts are stretched, their nuts no longer retain the same torque value—and their new torque value, whatever it is, is a ticking time bomb. Could be next weekend, or sooner. Or a year away. Or "someday." With a Porsche flat six, that's a huge liability for most people. It's the number-one thing I think about when letting someone drive my 914 out of my sight…which doesn't happen often. A complete stranger out for their one chance at a romp in my old Porsche? Nope—unless the rental includes enough money to cover the parts, labor, hassle, and heartache of an engine rebuild with a longterm warranty period. Even so, I'll let just about anyone who asks to drive my 914 do so. It's good to share, and some of the most fun I've had in my 914 has been seeing others' revelations while driving it. But the number of people I'll let drive it without me in the car can probably be counted out on a single hand. A complete stranger, who has "paid for my time in this car"? No way. |
