Default rental car

Today I took my ITR in, to get a ding and some scratches fixed. Look at what they gave me to drive.






I went to start the damn thing and it would turn over but wouldn't fire. I went in to tell the worker that it wouldn't start, and he informed me it had a theft imobilizer. I about fell on the floor laughing. Someone could pick the damn thing up and run off with it. I need help. I am having the shitiest luck lately.

It is a renault twingo. I took a corner in it (that I normally get on a bit in the ITR), broke the fronts loose and had the rear drifting on me. Its like a go-cart. I need to look at the tire size. I think they are 12inch rims. I didn't mention the fact that I am 6'1" and 225lbs.

I have only been in Germany for a few months. I did a little research, and was told be a few people that they do good work. And the Honda military car sales here recomended me to them also. I am always worried when its not in my garrage though. I was a lot more worried when it was shipped. I'm no body man, so what else can you do. Sleep in the parking lot?

The bolsters do a damn fine job for those low G corners.
The sunroof is even better. It extends damn near the whole length of the roof line. I'm guessing they did it so you would be thrown in case of an accident, and have half a chance. Renault Twingo

Renault Twingo! my mum used to drive one of those when we lived in Holland.
1.2 liters of pure gutless power! the digital speedo in the middle of the car was kinda cool.

I don't know if it will last till the end of the week. I rev it real hard all the time. I've taken speed bumps @ 30kph without worry. Parking is a breeze. I don't care were I park it or if it's gone when I get back. I love it. I just hope some bastard isn't out doing the same in my ITR.

Be careful not to crash it. It's not a really safe car.
