This year's Vegas car rentals
Enterprise doesn't have the C8 yet, so I'm pretty sad about that. We'll pick up a 2020 Maserati GranTurismo (black) for 72 hours Friday morning, and drop it off for another C7 Monday morning, which I'll keep for a week.
G picked the Italian car over an Audi R8. |

The R8 is a fantastic car; but have you ever tried to climb into one? I've heard they are very tight inside.

I raced (and won with) an Audi R8 with a manual transmission. One of my most memorable wins. Enterprise indicated that the Maserati is even more roomy.

Sorry, but a black Maser in Vegas doesn’t sound good.

I hope the Maser runs for the entire time you have it. They are beautiful though!

Seriously, I'd never buy one for myself, but it is one of the sexiest cars on the planet. Low on horsepower (450), and Italian build quality, but as you say, sexy as hell. |

Not to get too specific but the last person I know who owned one got to drive it for 5 months out of his first year of ownership... it got left in Florida someplace prone to flooding and the proceeds were invested in a fancy Jeep of all things. The owner is still happy with the Jeep.

Extended my Maserati rental to 72 hours. Now dropping off Monday morning. Didn't want to lose the benefit of enjoying it for the full weekend.
