The ultimate driving machine, rental cars. They can go anywhere, or jump any cliffs.

He drove it like it was a rental. Hope he bought the insurance so he isn’t paying for the rental company’s loss of income.

Did he get to see the sunrise or not?

His own insurance will cover the rental car the same as his own car. That’s why it’s a waste of money to let the rental companies talk you into taking out insurance for their rental.

He should have taken Notes before going off like that.

The suspense could have killed him.

A Jonah event? Do whales swim close to the shore of the Big Island?

Yes, that is true if you have insurance on your own autos. However, it is still a pain in the a$$.
That vehicle is totaled. I guarantee his insurance rates will go up because of it. Probably for good reason.

IF you use the rental car insurance you are covered with no hassle to you. When I travel on business, my company always tells us to deny the insurance because we are covered under the corporate policy. When I travel on my own dime, I get the insurance from the rental car company. ESPECIALLY, IF I AM IN ANOTHER COUNTRY.

He needs to get right with God. Sounds like a Jonah event.


Indeed, it does!

He walked on water?

I know why he survived.

I wasn't aware the late Andy Devine intervened in such things but ok. :)

What was the dummy doing out and about on a restricted road at 3:30am? Besides almost killing himself, he almost killed or injured one other person.

If dui, fine him and throw him in jail for a month.

Obvious topic for a federally-funded research project.

1. How long can a person survive inside the belly of a whale?

2. How does the person get out of the whale?
