My car has been sitting for over 3 months, i have no license so i drive my pick up truck (draws less attention) i start my car maybe once a month and it always starts fine. I would guess it would be your battery

It could be the coolant temp sensor, the battery, the MAF, maybe your fuel pump or filter. Maybe a mouse built a nest in your intake or exhaust tip and it took a minute or so to clear itself out? I'm thinking fuel related anyway, like the fuel system depressurized while it was parked for a week and it took a bit of cranking for it to repressurize. When I changed my fuel filter it took a good 15 seconds of cranking before it started up the first time, in order for the fuel to saturate the filter and get to the engine.

Enterprise has some good cars and they dont really seem to care as long as you bring it back in 1 piece. I rented a Dakota with the magnum v8 and it was a nice truck. Curbs, mediums & fields where non-existent to that truck. It did some nice brake torques too! Enterprise didn't even say anything about the rear tire being bald or that it didn't seem to have the power it used to when i brought it back.

I know some people who would rent a car or cars, pay a few bucks for insureance and then go out to Montana on the long straight roads and then go as fast as they could then e-brake it. Made square tires! Then they would jump them down these hills here in Spokane (there are two roads coming off the south hill here and if you go fast enough you can get some MAJOR air!!! It's awesome!!!)

yeah, the altima ended up w terrible flat spots and I shredded a front tire, when i returned it, it had one brand new tire and one that you could see the wire coming out...I would like to add that in a straight line in the altima when you pulled the E the car slid very straight (for a full block)...the G6 was annoying, because when you pulled the E the car would beep (and in the black one there was alot of effort needed for a good lock while moving)...The enterprise I go to just started renting luxury cars (no audis[:@])...but they do have a boxster, lotus, caddy XLR, c series benz, 3 series bimmer, and a bunch of suv's...
the next time I am down I am going for the lotus, i cant wait!

EDIT: Thanks to everyone who actually tried to help w the prob...as far as I can tell it was just pissed because i didn't wash it and drive it all week...I washed it and drove it and it is now extremely happy...I guess it's kinda like ignoring your wife all week, then you know ur fvcked!
