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

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 Cool

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.
