Local dude renting his for $95 a day... $320 total for 3 days... not great not terrible... if someone was to it from my friend it would amount to 17k a year @20/30 days rented in the month.
Seems like an OK proposition. The vehicle handoff is an issue I feel... like do you leave work to drive to the airport then blow $$ on Lyft back?

A is the best Turo vehicle to own - durable as hell, cool factor for people’s vacations, super low depreciation. I’ve considered it but don’t think Charlotte would get a ton of traction. I’ve debated throwing the Kamry on there for

you don't have that commute anymore I presume? I'd probably throw it in and perhaps put an age limit, in case if there's an inexperienced

driver potentially ruining your clutch.

Spent over an hr talking to the dude... it seems that Turo takes a 35% Cut from the fee, on top of charging the renter. So turo makes 45% off the entire rental which is insanity.

I think the jeep would be a breakeven... at best. Also buddy told me he handles at least 1 claim a month... every car he has rented has been hit to some extent... At least I got the 0 BS explanation... :notsure:

if it still makes sense.

I'll trade it in on a :truk:

cuz it needs an alignment. Can't be bothered to deal with that.

thoughts of the day...

Mini is too slow, I went :fullretard:

on my way to work hoping to create a smokeshow through a one wheel peel... nope... Car gently peels out for a split second or so, and then gets traction... and we're talking full throttle TC off and MAKING A TURN.

On the flipside it is incredibly easy to drive. You can't really fuck up in this thing.

Traction > no traction IMO.

I'm thinking there's gotta be some sort of torque limiter, or by the time it made boost it already had traction. My SVX in fwd mode would smoke a front wheel into second gear from a stop. That made 230tq with :235: so I assume your problem is one of the two things I mentioned.

One wheel peel in a truk

Must have something to do with traction control or the slushbox? You should be able to roast a tire indefinitely in 1st gear... Sounds like the auto is short-shifting.

I have it in manual mode pegging it all the way to 6k... but perhaps there is just too much "traction" from the lovely :205: i gain too much speed before its all said and done...

is what I wanna do.

Seems like that should be easy in 1st but automatics are weird.

1/2 a second chirp some torque steer then it claws itself into the pavement. :butwhy:

I want smoke bro.

I'll try with the VSC completely off, in the "TC" off setting may or may not be the culprit.

"Everything off" is

in a lot of modern cars :sad:

I can't get the ass end out in my Kamry to save my life and it should be easy with a manual, all seasons in the rear, cold temps... I yanked the wheel and mashed the throttle in a 1" deep puddle yesterday and nothing.

Most new cars are just boring.

I spun doughnuts with a 430 loaner in my work parking lot .... odd ?! Did you turn tc off ?

I’d bet the car has brake based LSD stuff going on even when TC is off. And torque reduction in 1st and 2nd.

At mini

all the service dudes seem super chill unlike every bmw I have been to so far...

I showed him the staining on the stripes and he said he would take care of it ... oil change is $89.99 no upselling attempted.

No loaner of course but that’s ok, I told him I would wait around and he told me he will pull in my car first and get it ahead of the line.

I think the bro wants to fuck
5/7 will put out
