Hi, Guest
It's not even the deliberate damage, it's the accidental damage that follows them around.
Case in point - 3 Chevy mini-vans (the latest ones, can't remember the name) up a 75km trip on a mine road for a site visit, all came back with a thorough suspension workout and ours came back with a golf ball-sized stone throw impact web near the bottom passenger side of the windshield.
Went to get my rental one day at the Delta Chelsea, valets parked Pontiac Pursuit at the Bay Street entrance. Some guy (from North Bay!) backs into it as I approached the car to load my bags. Propeller-shaped bumper hitch covers make great spearing attachements! :lol:
Rentals are rentals, short-term windows into the extreme service capabilities of a vehicle. However, if I get one within 20,000 or so of being new I tend to evaluate it as a fairly representative mark of a certain model.
