Rental GT damaged ...on YouTube

Not the best start to the ownership experience...

I can't believe they tried to drive that with half the wishbone in the passenger footwell. A bit lacking in mechanical sympathy.

I saw this 15 mins after it was posted on YouTube.

Can’t believe they tried driving it!

Also... gutted... poor car!

I think this car is part of the guys rental fleet

I can't believe what a poor communicator he was with the driver...."eh back it up; if you could see what I see; try going forward" At no point did he mention to the driver 'Hey the wheel is actually inverting and getting angled..."

That's no excuse for having no mechanical sympathy. He probably caused more damage trying to drive it up the ramps.

It’s a shame about the damage, but what a clown trying to drive it!

Guess that is why you do not buy a car that was once a rental

The reason I own a GTS today is because I was going to purchase a ZR1. I wanted to rent one first. We arrived at the rental place and he had no coupes only ragtops. Couldn’t fit luggage in, long but funny story short, they put me in a 2018 GTS for the price of the ZR1. It was like a religious experience. About the 3rd day my wife looks at me and says, you know honey, you never buy anything for yourself. You should treat yourself to a Ratti!

BOOM! Here she is

I had a similar experience. I decided I wanted to rent something different and reasonably quick for a long weekend in the West Country. Only problem is, my partner hates flashy cars, so Ferraris and Lamborghinis were off limits. I chose to hire a GT on the basis it was suitably understated and elegant. I reckoned she might forgive me for that. Anyway, I loved it so much that I bought one within a few months.
