There's no way i'm going to lend my R8 to some chump who may or may not know how to drive it and ruin the cars mechanics. $33K could be just to cover the repairs. Plus it would hurt me deep down inside that some bloat is flying down a highway or street at over 200km/hr putting my car in danger. I'm not for that.

That's up to $33,000 I doubt they would pay you that much for your R8. And don't rental companies charge about that much to rent a veyron for a day? haha.

For a guy with that much money, it's not my car's exterior that I would be worried about but rather the interior.

Plain stupidity. No way in hell would I rent out my super car to anyone. This is really absurd, why would anyone pay well north of $200,000 for a super car and rent it out to some jackass to abuse for a measly $33,000.

No thanks. That won't even cover depreciation. That "club" will be out of business in 6 months.

this club is trying to capitalize on the bad economy and once rich people not having money. im sure some guy who needs cash, would let anyone drive their supercar if they can get cash for it.

if they are successful or not is debatable, but you cant say its a bad idea.
