You know what's great about a rental car? You don't own it. How hard have you beaten one?

We won't name the boxy crossover we had so much fun with because it only appears in one rental fleet we know of, making it that much easier to trace. Let's just say it was a Zippy car. And let's just say it doesn't have enough power to do a front-wheel burnout. What can it do? Put the parking brake on, drop it into a lower gear, step on the gas and rather than spin the front wheels it'll drag the rear ones across the gravel, leaving an awesome streak of cheap black all-season tires in its wake. (Note: don't try this at home.) (Extra Note: release the parking brake occasionally so you don't rip a huge patch out of the tire.) It's a good thing we can't afford a Corvette ZHZ.
