    Why aren’t sport cars rented instead of sold? Only place you can really use them is the race track.

      Lots of racetracks sell packages like this, pay $$ to take out a certain car or groups of cars. But for lots of people it’s just as much about the tuning/improving of their own car as it is about the driving.

      Au contraire, my Fuck Cars fellow. A sports car’s agile handling and peppy acceleration are enjoyable even at street legal speeds. They are of course most enjoyable when driven nearer to the limits at a track, but most stock “sports cars” require some modifications to be reliably driven under such intense conditions.

        Buy and rent?

        No, seriously. Guzzle more gas, prone to dangerous driving. Thus my idea to only rent them at race tracks.

          You have both options.

          One of the big draws to things like muscle/sports cars is customization, and upgrading. You can’t do that with a rental, so one of the biggest portions of that market will be left out.
