When we typically think about car rentals, an exotic driving experience rarely comes to mind. Other than the fact there is sometimes a unique exploratory moments when driving a vehicle you don't own, the standard standard of relatively-new economy cars and vans fall flat of providing meaningful memories behind the wheel.

In major cities in the United States, car rental conglomerate Enterprise Rent-A-Car provides customers with a feistier option for spending a day or two with a vehicle. The Exotic Car Collection groups a premium selection of cars and crossover vehicles that would otherwise not be so easily accessible. Depending on the location, Cadillacs, BMWs and even Lamborghinis can be rented through Enterprise's Exotic Car Collection. Part of a recent expansion of their operations, the rental car service has opened its first Canadian Exotic Car Collection venture.

Serving the city of Toronto, the Exotic Car Collection program is established in the Enterprise Rent-A-Car location near the Pearson International Airport. "Customers rent from the Exotic Car Collection for a wide variety of occasions – from people who want to add a special touch to a big event, to travellers who want to enjoy their vacation in style, to business executives entertaining clients," says the senior vice president of Enterprise Brice Adamson. Delivering 'white-glove treatment' to customers with features such as a streamlined reservation process, the Canadian website for the Exotic Car Collection presently shows six vehicles. The Audi Q5, BMW 528i, BMW X5, Infiniti QX80, Land Rover Range Rover and the Porsche Panamera is currently attached to the Canadian location. Rates for vehicle rental is positioned at $175 to $200 per day.

The expansion (including the Toronto location) for the Enterprise Rent-A-Car Exotic Car Collection is added to almost 30 branches in operations. 2016 represents the 10th anniversary of the Exotic Car Collection rental service.

Clip of Possum Van during a Red Green Show season 1 scene transition. It could be argued that the car someone regularly drives can be reflective of their personality. The level of character traits found in our automobiles can range from subtle to flamboyant as practicality, style, power, brand loyalty and other details are factors influencing our vehicle affection. On the big screen and silver screen, an automobile (frequently popularized as a Star Car) can be used to affirmatively to expand on a human character. Batman’s Batmobile, the Dodge Charger called the ‘General Lee’ in Dukes of Hazzard, the Volvo P1800 featured in the 1960s television version of The Saint, the Aston Martin DB5 driven by James Bond in some of the most famous spy movies are some popular examples where vehicles play a major role in reinforcing the appearance of fictional individuals. Due to the budgetary constraints of Canadian media productions, the presence of native Star Cars is rare. However, one success...

Eventually through the evolution of automobile design, the familiar placement for a gearshift lever was mounted on the floor. However, for a time, it was also popular to find a gear shifter behind the steering wheel attached to the steering column. The Birth of Three on the Tree Although column shifters would become synonymous with automatic transmissions, the first appearance of the gear shift behind the steering wheel came with a manual gearbox. Referred to in brochures as remote control shifting, the 1939 Plymouth introduced the shifter positioning behind the steering wheel. The novel remote control shifting ...

Plastic Performance: The Story of the Innovative Polimotor Engine

Photo Credit: Jack Webster The engine compartment for a traditional fuel-burning automobile is one of the most incredible storms regularly occurring on this planet. Intense heat of the combustion process combines with a stunning electrical storms and powerful mechanical forces to create the momentum we take for granted. Harnessing and managing this essential storm to generate optimum performance relies on the ability to engineer the best possible engine. Among one of the aspects carefully considered towards the construction of a traditional internal combustion gasoline engine is material selection. Performance, durability and importantly cost factors into how to produce a powerplant. For a long time, cast iron was favoured for the construction of engine blocks for most production automobiles while other components utilized alloys such as stainless steel. Previously existing in high performance or more expensive vehicles, aluminum has gained wider acceptance in rece...
