Speaking of the Rent-a-Racer era

I once rented a “Hyundai Elantra or Similar” and ended up with a manual Challenger Scat Pack.

When I went to pick up the rental the girl at the counter told me they were out of small cars and asked if I wanted an SUV. I said that it really wouldn’t work for the trip we had planned, so she sheepishly asked if I could drive stick. I said yes, and she said “well you can have that orange Challenger then, nobody ever rents it because nobody can drive stick”

485hp on worn out summers is about the most fun you can have on dirt. My codriver and I started out as the #76 and #16 but after forgetting to swap numbers between runs several times timing and scoring decided we were now the #01 for obvious reasons.
