Default Interesting bit of news

I was talking with a customer at my dad's diner today (who just happens to be designing/building a car of his own, well 5 actually, but its interesting, if ya want more info pm me) and he told me about a rental car shop in town that rents Lotus Elises, so deffinatly have to find this place and check that out. The fun to be had...

Damn, if that was "interesting" news, then thank goodness that you didn't post any "boring" news.

i said to pm me cause the car being designed wasnt the main topic of the thread, so maybe if some of you take a second to read the topic you wouldnt have to make stupid insults, and jabba, no offense, but to find something like that out is interesting considering there arent many places in the states that i know of that would rent a car like that, or at least not a car rental place that doesnt specialize in exotics.

Ok ok! So the "Interesting News" is that you are looking for Lotus Elises. And it is NOT about your customer Designing a New car for him self(Only 5 in the World)

Hummm.... I can Still say that The Lotus Elises is Interesting, as a Car, To own it perhaps, but not to Rent it..... !

Another thing,which is Interesting, you actually got PM'd.

To be honest, the only info you gave us was vague, at best. You are telling us that if we take a second and read the topic, we would understand you? Your topic says, Interesting bit of news, you start off talking about a 5 of a kind car, which I admit and, coincidentally was the only item you even said was interesting, is interesting. But as far as the rental place offering Elises, its not that interesting and I will tell you why. You didnt give us a name to the place, you didnt tell us where it is (we can only assume it is somewhere in Chicago), you didnt tell us how much, etc, etc.

Im not trying to get on your case or give you a hard time, but with such a lack of information, especially when starting the topic off with the proposal of interesting info, you kinda have to expect these kinds of responses.

But the car sounds interesting, so if you can provide us with some info, im sure we would all appreciate it.

To be honest, the fact that a rental facility for Lotus Elises exists is not really news per se. Especially when you've told us literally nothing else about it.
