Going to LA, want a Porsche?
Hey all, I'm going to be in LA (Palm Springs) in August, and will be in need of a rental car for a week. I'm thinking I'd like to get a Porsche for at least a day, maybe a Boxster for a week. Something at least that's fun to drive. Any ideas?
Thanks! Chuck

Will you be out here on August 10th for Big Bear Run III?
I bet if you showed up in Redlands (only 40min away) you could catch a ride w/ one of the guys if you don't find a car for yourself. Maybe even in Jack's BBII if he can get himself out of bed that early.  EDIT: WOW! this was my 911 post!

Palm Springs in August? They must have given you a room for free. Look for tempeatures in the 100teens, 90s at night. As far as the cars go, you can rent a Box or a Ferrari in LA. I don't know about PS. Boxters go for low hudreds a day, more exotic can be over a grand a day. Use a web search engine for "exotic car rentals." You will need a reservation for these cars as they are popular and there aren't too many of them.

THe Budget Rental Center has 996' and Boxsters along with just about anythng else you want. If i recall correctly is on the corner where Santa Monica crosses Wilshire. I think its either Beverly Hills or West Wood. I have not lived there sice 98 so it might have moved but Budget rents em all.

Zeke, unfortunately I get in on the 11th, (monday) or else I'd give vital body parts for a ride in BBII!!!
I think I will have to get a boxster, tho I have been looking at the prices, and I could darn near buy one for 3-4 months for what they want for 1 weeks use. I'll have a couple of days to kill (Monday and Tuesday), so are there any porsche related things I should see? Also, is there anything happening on the 16th ( the following saturday) in that area that would be worth hitting? Thanks! Chuck

Zeke/Anyone..
Do you have a Phone Number for the Budget on Whitshire and Santa Monica? I'm trying to find it on the Net with no luck.. The Budget Website doesn't have Phone Numbers. :-( Thanks! Chuck
