Actually, he was a really nice guy in high school, class president multi sport letterman. I kinda wonder if he was misled or lied to by Hertz? Maybe the next reunion (if I remember) I'll ask him.

If he was a real jerk high school, I would have said:

"HERTZ DOESN'T RENT Z06's, EITHER THEY LIED TO YOU OR YOU'RE TOO STUPID TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE! NICE TRY YOU SCHMUCK!" LOL!

I'll bet that there was someone else in that crowd that knew he was full of it too! You can never get away with that kind of BS.

I'll bet he didn't know he rented a "rental only" edition Vette. And you could've very easily looked like a tool calling him out on it, because most (if not all) of the onlookers wouldn't know you were telling the truth. Congrats on keeping your cool.

Don't know if I could have resisted the urge to correct him on sooo many levels. Good job on your part.
