    Getaround

    Anyone done this? No way in hell I'd put up my quirky E30's oil pan for any random douchebag to break, but my mom decided to sign up with her cars. Seems kind of sketchy to me; how reliable is the insurance, and what happens when the renter hoons the shit out of the car and you need a clutch job/transmission?

    Just curious of the enthusiast's view on this. If you seem competent I have zero problems letting you drive my car. But I wouldn't just put it up for rent for anyone (in my car's case it is a bit finicky and shitbox-y for the average person to want to rent).

    Shit, I would not even let a GF drive one of my cars, much less a stranger.

    I have too much work into them.

                Yea but I would put up something really hard to drive. Like a WRX with an oversized turbo and a chattering "stage 3" clutch.

                  No.

                  I can see (3) typical scenarios for which people would use that service

                  1) Need a truck or SUV to haul something with (I think a guy down the street from me rents his truck out for that purpose)

                  2) To joyride, like a kid just wanting to rent something cool for prom.

                  3) Homeboy needs to make a run across town and his Buick just isn't up to the task.

                  Imagine getting your car back only to find that the seat is reclined all the way down. Makes a man's blood boil. :P
