Reminds me of the stories of people renting the Hertz Shelby Mustangs and welding in roll cages and racing them and taking them back Monday morning.

I read a story recently, don’t know how true it is but this guy needed new tires for his car, so he rented a car with same size tires, then he switched them, took the rental back the next day.
New set of tires for $39.95.
A friend of mine works for a company that produces car commercials. He told me that a few years ago, they were filming a truck commercial where they were supposed to jump a truck over a chasm.
The stunt driver wrecked the truck during practice, so they went and rented one for the actual ad then returned it.
Another story.
I used to work for a company that supplied acoustic materials to the auto industry. They were testing a way to quiet the read footed area on a minivan.
They rented one, completely stripped the interior, removed the floor pan, replaced it with one treated for acoustics, added a bunch of instrumentation, replaced the interior carpet and seats and took it for a drive.
As I recall, they did this several times.
Then they returned the rental. Thy had it for 2-3 months and only put a few hundred miles on it.
