[Shelbymustang] New Shelby Hertz car: follow-up

Shelby Mustang Email List
------------------------------


Hi All,
Just a follow-up on the guy that rented the new Hertz Shelby and took it to
the local Shelby Show; and won best in show. On Monday, the day after the
show, he wrecked the car.... He said he hit a deer going through Pennsylvania
on his way to Chicago. Here is a link to the picture.

So to sum it up. He rented the car on Friday in Boston and drove to New
Jersey. Saturday he drove to Syracuse. Won best in show on Sunday and drove
back to New Jersey. Monday he was the first person to wreck one of the new
Hertz Shelby rental cars. Total miles = 1,048. Apparently Hertz is not quite
sure what to do about the car as it is still in New Jersey.

Hi All,
The 66 Hertz cars are buddies of mine. The story on the new one is kind of
funny. The guy who rented it lives in New Jersey. He flew to Boston to rent
it for the week and drove it back to New Jersey. He then drove it to the
Ford/Shelby show in Syracuse, New York (5 hours). It is serial number 13. He
then drove it back to New Jersey last night. He plans to drive it to Chicago
to visit friends than take it back to Boston. Obviously he has unlimited
miles..... The car is pretty cool. It had a crowd around it the whole day, I
happened to have my car right next to it at the show. Instructions say it
must be hand washed only, and he said the late fee for returning the car is
$64.50 per hour... The best part of the story is that he got the "Best in Show"
trophy. I wonder if he will give it to Hertz when he returns the car. I
told him he should tell the Hertz people he won it racing the car.

Hate to say it, but isn't that what happens when you get car #13? Let's just
hope he took out the insurance. LOL

Hit a deer, right. Probably a story for the insurance. He's likely just
trying to follow the legend of the original cars and actually wrecked it at an
open track.

Thats minor damage. If thats the worst damage that a herts gets that would
amaze me.

Frankly if hertz was smart they would ebay the car right now as the first
hertz wrecked. Some fool would pay 60 or 70K and never fix the fender as it
would remove the patina. he would track the guy driving the car down and have
him sign it right under carols signature.
