Hertz rental vettes question

They're yellow with a black stripe on the hood and a HRZ badge on the side. I have a Malibu reserved next week but can get the Vette for $65a day more on an upgrade in Orlando. It will add $350 to a five day rental, a great test drive for a C6. Should I go for it and is it worth that much of extra fun?

No dealer is going to let you test drive a C-6 for five days at any price. Go for it!

Respect the power and the traction control button - don't wreck it. It's happened - a lot. Have fun - you'll love it.

If you have your family of five keep the car . Just you, I would almost rather ride the bus.

If you don't own one, it will make you want one.
If you do own one, it will make you miss yours.
Just do it either way !

Absolutely not !
Stay with the Malibu. Why, you might have have to go fast or take a curve, that would lead to grins. Grins lead to smiles and be for you know it you are in serious jeopardy of having fun !
Horror.......
