The difference is that in once case, it is your job to test a car - that has to do with quality assurance and you are being hired by the owner of the car for that purpose. The owner of the car has contracted with you to abuse the car, they know how the car will be treated and are fine with it.
Offering insurance with a rental car does not, in any way, give you any license, explicit or implied, to actually destroy that car. The reason they offer insurance is because many car insurance companies (especially budget companies) don't offer rental car coverage. Also, there is no guarantee that the renter of the car actually owns their own car (which is why they are renting one) and therefore would not have their own insurance. The rental insurance is actually limited for most rental companies, read the contract limitations - if you abuse or willfully destroy or damage the car you can still be held completely liable, in other contracts you are only covered up to a few thousand dollars if you are found to be at-fault for the damage.
Your reasoning for damaging or destroying another person's car seems to be "well, other people do it, so I can too!" Horsehit. By that logic you can justify anything. Just because someone else is a big enough of a douchebag to video himself abusing someone else's car is not justification for you to do the same.
I don't rent a car with the sole intention of beating it until it's dead...I drive the rental exactly how I drive my car, if it can't handle the way I drive then I don't consider it a better car then what I have...
I'm not going to start jumping curbs and running over street signs and fences 'just' because I have a rental in my possesion.
Beating on your own car is a very different proposition. You are the one who has to pay for repairs, you are the one who pays for tires fucked up by a tweaked alignment, and you are the one who takes the loss on resale when the engine is burning oil, the body is dented and the interior is trashed. When you do this to another person's car you take money out of their pocket
Bullshit. If I break a rental car, who's paying for it? I AM. Don't assume that just because its a rental car I'm not going to be held accountable for what damage is done to it. When you return the rental car they do a actual walk around with you, and if you have damage on the car either you tell them or they find it and report it...which either way will end up on your statement.
If the rental comes back on a flatbed because the transmission took a shit, I'm the one at fault since it broke as a result of my treating it badly...
Who is the hypocrite here, the person who treats his own car with respect but willfully destroys or damages any car that isn't his own or the person who treats both his and other cars with some degree of respect and courtesy for both the owner and the next renter.
You're the hypocrite. I'm not willfully destroying or damaging the cars that come into my possession... 'Spirited driving' or driving a rental exactly how I drive my car does not equate to me 'destroying' the fucking car.
Here's a novel concept for you. Most people who rent different cars, like to see how the cars stack up to what they already have. Believe it or not this is one of the ways Ford got so many people to buy the New Edges...they liked the way they drove/performed when they rented them.
The Caravan being put into reverse at 40 was not something I 'meant' to do...I went for neutral and missed, but Dodge can't seem to get a column shifter to feel right and I missed neutral...
The Deville, well I've heard horror stories reguarding the Northstar V8 so I wanted to see how it actually performed...and it performed quite well...so well that it easily and quickly eclipsed the three digit mark before I knew it.
I can only wonder with your attitude why that job you so gleefully cite is in the past tense.
I'm not surprised a asshole like yourself will 'ASSume' things. That job is in the past tense because I fucking quit it. The job was fine, but being actually treated like dog shit by your boss on a constant and frequent basis makes even the most enjoyable jobs miserable.
Don't assume you know me, cause you don't.
Prick
Let me break it down for you to the most generic terms:
If it's not ok to damage a car by crashing it into stuff, jumping it or blowing the motor, then how do you justify smoking the tires, abusing the brakes, and damaging the motor? They are essentially the same thing, the only difference is the severity of the damage and how easy it is to see.
If you're a idiot they're essentially the same thing. However they aren't the same thing. And define 'abusing the brakes'? What the fuck does that mean? You never had to do a fucking panic stop at all? Stop acting like you're better then me, cause you're clearly not.
If it's not ok to abuse your best friend's car, fleet vehicle from work or a car borrowed from a friend or family member, how do you justify damaging a rental? Both cars belong to someone else, the only difference is that in one case you might actually be held accountable for the damage because you know the person who owns it. These actions are essentially the same thing: abusing a car that does not belong to you.
Man you're a fucking broken record. Same shit over and over and over...
You are a coward, the only thing that keeps you from destroying or damaging every car you get in is the possibility of being held accountable for your actions.
And you're a fucking moron. Assuming I'm a coward because I'm not held accountable for damaging a rental? Fuck you.
I don't hide from anything. There you go assuming again...Act like a big fucking tough guy because you're typing to a name on a screen...
Fuck you and your friends.
Your "soul" bullshit is a load of crap. Show where they install "soul" on the assembly line. It's the same assembly line where they build all the other models that go for private sale, so where is the soul on the options list?
It's a fucking joke asshole. No car built knows where it's going, its not like cars magically ordered to rental fleets have their souls taken away...
Does a car even have a soul? Does it?
One last thing: contributing to the early death of the car is the same as destroying it yourself. You advocate damaging a car and contributing to early mechanical failure - even if the car does not actually break when you have it in your possession, you have contributed to and may be the cause of it's early failure. That is destroying a car, in whole or part. Your negative rep was a chicken shit move from a coward and a vandal and nothing more than a pathetic attempt at payback for being publicly smacked down.
I could give a shit about my rep. here...what I do give a shit about is fucking morons like yourself, British Rover and whoever the fuck else is part of your fucking posse who act like they're high and mighty know-it-fucking-alls when in reality you're pathetic. You think you're better and morally superior because of your stance on issues like this.
Fuck you and your egos. I'm not hiding from no one, I'm not acting like a coward, I'm bringing it right out in front for everyone to see. You got a problem with me, bring it right to my face.
Otherwise you're the coward in this, not me.
