jeff i want to ride in your car one day. though i might die, you have yet to die so i'll trust you.
if i lent somebody my car, i would want them to keep it as nice a possible? idk.
"treat others the way you want to be treated"
but im not guna lie, it would be tempting.

No, it isn't unethical, but people who buy used rental cars are very stupid!
Those companies sell the cars after their service life is over... I can't believe people actually buy those cars! Sure, some of them are in fine condition are were probably driven by old people, but then there's the high percentage of cars that people like you and I have rented, and well, that's just bad news!

i love rentals... i had rentals on and off for about 4 months and man did abuse the SHI... out of them
i would always take a lunch and in the middle of winter i would fire up the the rental and smash the gas as if i was in gumball 3000 and would always last min brake and lock up the tires
then there was the celica which we found was really 180 happy if you were going anything over 35 and turned left or right and tapped the brakes it would imediatly throw itself around... that was fun
then we had a altama with about 100 miles on it and we power slided so much the tires were bald on the outside so i had to have the tires popped off the rims and flipped to return it
then there was the brand new toyota 4runner we took to pismo and rode in the ocean and beat up and down the dunes
i have more but you get the picture... haha
