Default I'd like to rent a really nice car this weekend (Sat. to Sun.). Suggestions?

Do any of the national chains in the area rent something cool? I'll include in the definition of "really nice car" any sort of convertible if I need to, including a flippin Sebring.

Back story: I'm best man in a wedding this weekend and the groom wants me to drive him from the church to the reception hall. I'd rather not do it in my station wagon. I was thinking about handing him keys to a Viper, corvette or some other gold chain monster. I suppose I could also chaffeur them in a pimp Escalade or Hummer.

I did a Google search and I've already e-mailed a place called Cloud 9 in Roselle. They have a 996 Turbo, a C6 vette and a SRT10 Viper.

Default How about something vintage? 50's Cadillac or Lincoln maybe.

"Godfather" kind of vibe.

Default Lotus Elise $150 a day at Budget in Skokie

Or rent ScottD's big *** Caddy from him if he'll let you.

And what's this pimp Escalade or Hummer nonsense? Doesn't Missy drive a freaking giant Tahoe or some other such monstrosity? Just use that

S4 cab sounds cool. I heard they can go 140mph backwards in the dark around curves.

Or forward at 150 in the rain while chasing a BMW full of people losing it on the interstate.

Default Nevermind. I went with the Elise. Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon. $335/tax included.

The bride is going to hate me.
