car rentals? any experiances with it?

pretty much.

I don’t want to put the wear and tear/miles on the GTO. I took it to NC over the summer and while I was glad that I did, I also regretted it as I was always worried about it. (making sure it was clean, not hitting potholes, getting chipped my a random rock on the freeway, ect)

I’d rather just drive something that I don’t have to worry about, plus the GTO even in 6th gear is still 10mpg off from a carolla. Most I’ve hit on a long trip is right around 24-26mpg
