[Chrysler300] Rental Cars - Spring Meet

["gary_r_23" <garyandkathie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gang,

I need to take a poll of how many of you would be interested in 
renting new 300's for the Spring meet in Detroit. I know it is still 
4 months away so please answer with one of the three numbers below 
that best describes your situation:

1) Might be interested, but way too early to tell
2) Pretty sure I'd be interested
3) Absolutely want to do it

OK folks, I'd like some idea of how many people might be interested, 
so you'll probably want to respond to me off this list. Don't forget 
to tell those members who aren't on the list and let me know what 
they think, too!!

In this area, Thrifty rental car seems to be the most cooperative. I 
went to visit the local manager yesterday at lunch and told him of 
our special 50th Anniversay meet and how it would be really fun to 
have a small fleet of 300's available for out of town guests. He was 
eager to cooperate and is willing to guarantee a certain number of 
300's. Just for a reference, their max price is about $71 per day 
including taxes for the 300 Touring, less for other cars. He even 
hinted that if we get enough people to sign up, he 
might do a little better on the price. He's going to do some 
checking on what that number is.

Now we're not talking about 300C's with hemis. There are no rental 
fleets with those. They offer 300 Touring with the 3.5 liter V6 (hey 
250 horsepower ain't bad!) and also the base 300 with the 2.7 liter 
(better than a Neon!). If he can't supply enough 300's, he will have 
some other specialty cars like PT Cruiser convertibles and Dodge 
Magnums. I imagine it would be a first come, first served as far as 
which car you get, but you would be renting it completely on your 
own, so the club is not really providing anything but the 
coordination.

Since we're still 4 months away, I will send out reminders to people 
as the date draws nearer. But we would need final numbers 4 weeks 
before the show, to give the company time to assemble our fleet.

P.S. Side note to Larry Jett and anyone else who may have already 
reserved a car. Dollar Car Rental has some sort of cooperative 
agreement with Thrifty in this airport. I think they share cars or 
something. When I was there, the big sign on the building says 
Thrifty, but a few of the parking spaces had little signs over them 
that said Dollar. So if we can make this club deal happen, I'd ask 
you to consider moving your reservations to this club deal with 
Thrifty. Everyone might get a better price and Dollar wouldn't 
really be inconvenienced.
