    This is why you never slow down before a jump. You would think these people would have learned that from riding their Huffys when they were younger.

    Ah yes, nothing like accusing somebody of a few too many cocktails on a HUGELY public website. ;-)

    In all seriousness, I hope he has some sort of excuse like that and is not just a terrible driver.

    No joke, people in Utah blame alcohol for every single car accident here as a default. Every time there is a report of an accident in the news people immediately say the person must have been drinking.

    Nevermind the fact that I've never seen people drive so badly in all my time on this planet as the citizens of Utah. They are very very slow and very very aggressive. It makes for a horrific combination.

    @merc6point9:

    Whenever I've passed through Utah, I do my best to not spend money there.

    I find it hilarious the first thing you see at a border with another state is a liquor store.

    My wife even suggested maybe I should look for work there, because of the mountainous areas (us flatlanders miss the mountains), and I said I'd live in a refrigerator box under a bridge before I moved to either Utah or California.

    It's like making babies. Not a lot of skill is required. And when little skill is brought to the process, the results are usually memorable the bad way.

    I can only imagine what sort of police entrapment scheme or farm foreclosure he was trying to avoid with this stunt, but he'll never make it as a Duke boy.

    @wojo: Certainly not. In fact I think you're kind of on point here. I bet lots of rental cars see similar levels of damage. I have a sneaking suspicion that this one will be repaired and back in servce or for sale in a month.

    @Bentoboxx, Now part owner of General Motors: He'll have a hard time getting it out of the rough onto the fairway, which as you can see, slopes the other way. It will take some doing to avoid double bogey.

    In reply to Hertz Now Renting Lotus Elise, Exige In Italy
    The Waikiki Parc hotel offers an Elise rental option, or at least they did when I was sent the promotional postcards sometime in the last few years.

    Almost made me fly back there. Almost...

    Figures. Decided to build a deck on the house instead of going to Italy in the fall. Plan on holding this over the wife's head until spring.

    This is an interesting idea. Basically the car will drive the "normal" driver away because it has no luggage space. So basically all renters in one way or the other will be true purists. Good idea.

    This will make my recreation of the TopGear 'best driving roads' trip I have planned (well, at least in my brain) much more financially accessible. Stelvio Pass, here I come! Sometime.
