Fastest rental at Spring Mountain

[Jameson's Viggen]

There was a rental car snafu. I had to take whatever they had. There was ONE midsize sedan.

Look at that color! Blaze Orange lol.

It's been WOT the whole time.

You will forever be tied to that color!

That's some Big Altima Energy right there.

When I was there in December, I was supposed to get a Ford Explorer. They said that did not have one ready yet, but I could just take a Toyota Siena hybrid minivan. I wasn't about to wait around. Took the brand new van. Drove it around Pahrump and then Vegas for a week. Put 375 miles on it with half a tank. A full tank would have made it around 700 miles. Hybrid is the way to go. I just hated that you couldn't hear it running. I made sure to take a complete video of the car. They never even inspected the car with me. I didn't want to hear any crap about a dent or wheel rash.

Nothing says sports sedan like a grainy 4 cylinder lashed to a CVT at WOT....mmmmm, long live ICE!

Don't speed on the main route between Las Vegas and Pahrump, its a speeders target area!

I saw on the news that there is a gas shortage in LV and people are freaking out. Long lines at gas stations.

My wife has one of those. It's great at what it's supposed to do, for sure

I drove back and forth from Pahrump to Vegas about 4 times before finishing the school. Never saw a cop anywhere. I could have just been lucky. I was doing 80 mph both ways, until you get into the populated area just outside Vegas. It is a very long straight road after you get over the mountain. If i was in a performance vehicle......I would be VERY tempted to see what it could do !

I'm glad I prepaid for gas in the rental

This was my choice for our time at the track and driving around Vegas, no regrets there!

If that thing has blue interior, that is the same one I rented last year for my trip to spring mountain.

Figured if I ever do it, rent like a miata and head north/northwest into Death Valley to check cutbacks and just wang it out.
