$500...... I mean think of how many doughnuts a driver can get in under 150 miles!

Right on! I passed on their one free oil change. So I certainly would never hand my car over to anyone for a month!

I would love to rent my car to someone for $16 a day, what a deal.

LOL they have a lot more interesting vehicles to choose from at Milford over a used Camaro. It’s not a dealership.

That is what they are trying to do, rent one for $500. Now last I checked you might get one at Hertz for $500……..PER WEEK. Lol

Ok, so realistically they’ve been using OnStar to collect your driving and performance habits and need just your car

Not only no, but hell no. I'm no fan of GM lately and definitely no fan of the EPA. Defund the EPA!

I’d fall in the floor laughing at them if I saw them in person. They’re gonna take my car that I ordered which is no longer in production and rev it up and drive it hard and do God knows what with it?

150 miles - isn’t that what the guys put on Cameron’s Dad’s Ferrari in Ferris Bueler’s Day Off?

Testing will put "roughly 150 miles, plus transit to and from our testing facility and may take up to 4 weeks to complete."

Are they friggen nuts? $500 for the use of my car for a month is an insult! That's not even a monthly car payment! What if my no longer in production vehicle is totaled in transit?
Of course there's no way I would accept this ridiculous offer, but I wonder if
anyone else has gotten one of these offers?

Don't do it especially if you are modified. Last thing we need is another California push in this state.

Counter offer them for $500 a week.
