Wheeling it will just get you stuck. Use common sense, cut the top off, now it's similar.

I tried to get a loaner from my dealer last month... I pointed out a few vehicles on the lot they could loan me... like a blue challenger, a black challenger, a red challenger, an orange challenger... they said "do you want your repairs done, or a ride home?" I had a friend get me

I really wanted the blue challenger... I even said "consider it a test drive..."

My dealer gave me a rental when mine needed repair. They said it was a compact car. They gave me the keys and a shoe horn and said have a nice day.It was the kinda car if you get killed in they just bury you in it.

I once read a story in National Lampoon by Dave Berry titled, "How to Drive Fast On Drugs While Getting Your WingWang Squeezed and Not Spill Your Drink"

In it he explained which car is best for the above situation. He says some people preferr a sports car, some people a sedan, some an auto some a stick.

He says a rental is best. Nothing handles better than a rental for going 60mph down a flight of church steps or going 100mph and slamming the car into reverse and cutting the wheel hard over. Or racing down railroad tracks just ahead of the Pacific Flyer.

He says driving a rental can be more fun than watching the entire Mexican Air Force crash landing into a liquidfied petroleum gas field.

You've got a rental have fun!

When mine went in I got a used car off the lot. Chevy Equinox IIRC. Kind of an odd vehicle, but it had SAT Radio and I could chirp the tires if I cut the wheel and gassed it. Could have been worse.
