My Yesterday...
So my buddy took his C230 into the dealer for maintenance and a recall on the Airbags.. since there was a recall, there were a ton of cars in, and not enough loaners. So they decided to send him down to Enterprise Rental and pickup whatever they had. The best they could do was a 2006 Trailblazer V6 Automatic. Not too shabby.. my review on it, was the interior was crap.. I came up with this great idea to take it to the track, and see what that baby would do in the Quarter mile.. well with it in 2wd instead of Automatic, and with a passenger I can get it to break into the high 16's.. not too shabby for an SUV with the smaller engine. (BTW it beat a lot of honda's there
) Well to my surprise.. we met a guy there that had a really nice car.. stock he was breaking 11 seconds.. good god.. and the car only had 3,000 miles on it, with factory tires.. Well he was kinda babying it a little bit, but damn was that thing fast..
BTW, i hope Enterprise doesnt mind the shoe polish number on the windows
