    want to make $ of your car?

    Well there is a way. Just have to hand over the keys of your pride and joy to some random. Got a phonecall from this guys, apparently they search for new car owners on carsales as well. Allot of ppl seem to be doing it tho, there is some classic rides too

    what ya think? i reckon no real enthusiast will be up for it, no matter what make you got stored in your garage.

    Not too sure about hiring out my car, and it isn't exactly anything special (2002 Astra sri). I just don't think other people care about your property as much as you do yourself. I certainly wouldn't be putting anything nice on there!
    That said, it would be an interesting way to have an extended test-drive of a car model you're looking at buying!

    For $20 a day?
    No. It'll cost me more than that just to get the smell of them out of my car.

    Funny how some people value their car - 97' s320 or 03' s350 which is cheaper haha

    I'm too pedantic about my engine. I never give it a hard time until the oil has reached at least 70 degrees - I can't see a renter gving two hoots about that.

    Insurance is covered by DriveMyCarRentals.

    It's a great concept if you have a spare Liberty auto that you don't care about. Personally I wouldn't put any car on there but I'm definitely going to use the service. Heaps cheaper than a rental car agency and you can fun cars like A4 1.8TQs...
