I do not see any humor in this, these guys are total idiots, to treat any car that way is stupid. I have rented many cars, mostly Cadillacs and Lincolns, and I have never abused any of them. One of the best cars I ever had was a 1989 sedan de ville that was an AVIS car. This car has been almost bullet proof, in fact, I still have the car and I bought it in October of 1989. We traveled all over the country in it and never had a problem. I also have a 1994 Concours, a 2009 DTS, and a 1976 Olds 98.
