I believe that the Hertz cars have a cable attached to the engine, so that would be a dead giveaway. I'm sure the Hertz guys give those cars a more thorough inspections than the Tauruses.
i dont see why it would. it simply wasnt returned. its not like he stole it, got in a high speed chase revving the **** out of the motor, hitting cars in intersections and then had the PITT Maneuver performed on him by the cops to get him to stop.
hmm.... maybe it would be fun to do like on jackass, and rent one, pay for the insurance, then go do a destruction derby, haha i could never do it though
