LOL. I'm not sure I'd willingly choose one, but I did get one from Hertz at JFK a couple of months ago. I found it surprisingly nice to drive (smooth ride, tons of power) and easy to handle (belying its heavy weight and huge size).

Of course, part of the fun was driving around NYC and pretending I was a cabbie. That V8 engine roar is a very familiar sound, and it was fun to have *my* foot be controlling the rumbling (as well as my hands on the wheel weaving in and out of Manhattan traffic).
