|
|
Story: Im a hardcore Porsche fanatic and the future wife has a soft spot for the 356. Shes not as much of a fan of my E30 so if I want to incorporate cool wedding pics with a sweet car, I think this is my way to do it.
Question: Where can I rent a 356 for just a few hours (a whole day would be awesome, if possible) so that I can at the least get some cool pics. Id prefer to have the "driving off" pic with me actually driving it, but thats not required
pertinent info:
Location: Modesto, CA
Date: July 2nd, 2016
Thanks in advance for your help, Im thinking I might have better luck using a rep, but thought I would start here first _________________ function follows form |

I think you would have better luck with a replica Speedster. Go to Speedsters owners.com. A great bunch of guys there with some in or near Modesto. You can go to there site and post for free... |

You can try the local PCA chapter. There are also a few 356 clubs/groups in California. Not sure where they are but I'm sure a few minutes spent searching will turn them up.
Any of these close?

Sounds like a Porsche Panamera
My brother in law is a manager at Hertz and even he can not get any rental love with these. I want to roll one bad. _________________

They?
My CC company that had a 10 deposit rung up.
My Insurance carrier for having to pay out on all the premiums Ive paid.
My recently purchased "renta a car" insurance that will do anything to get out of settling.
Or my family as they know that if that happened it was because I was hit by a pineapple truck on Maui.
