Renting Exotic Cars?
I'm trying to find out if there's any business in the TC area that rent exotic cars. Corvettes, etc. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

that website looks like BS to me. MN just doesn't have enough warm months or flashy residents/visitors to support such a business. You could probably find a place in Chicago that does that sort of thing, although i'm sure you will pay dearly to get the car over here if they even let you.

That website is BS. It is made only to get ad clicks. |

Sorry pal, but you're in the wrong state to be driving around sexy cars. Minnesotan's don't do that.

Ten years ago, I rented a Ferrari 308GTS from a Budget rental in LA for the weekend. Maybe the twin cities have a similar opportunity. Call the major rental firms.

I did for a little while. 1986 1/2 Toyota Supra. Smashed it up on hwy 18 one winter (snowy roads and 225/50R16 tires just don't mix well), then totalled it near the MoA the next winter. Even nice V-rated Goodyear M+S tires don't save you when you have freezing mist and the salt/sand trucks haven't been by yet... |

I bought a pimped out Corolla in the spring of 06. It's been a little over 2 years and I'm currently trying my best to keep the bumpers from falling off of it.

They don't seem that rare anymore. Not as much in the western suburbs anyway.
I saw a Ferrari 355, an Acura NSX, a Porsche GT3, a Lotus Elise, a Bentley Continental GT, and 2 Maserati's on my drive to work this morning.

I've never seen any of those in my 25 years here. |

There is a Maserati dealer in Minnetonka now. Somebody is buying them.
