Exactly what I would've done. After that, the look on his face: PRICELESS.

Dentists Z06
So, I went to my high school class reunion tonight, we won't talk about what year.
When I first got to the place where the reunioin was I parked next to a nice yellow & black C-6. Nice color, pretty cool car! I told my wife that looks like one of those Hertz Corvettes and it was. Anyway, one of my classmates who is a dentist is standing in front of a captured audience telling stories about his new C-6 Z06. He's saying how fast it is with the 505 hp engine and how he can light up his tires with just tap of the gas pedal. He has everyone eating out of his hand. Well this guy points out to the parking lot and says "that's my yellow Zo6". I didn't say a word, man he was in his own little world. Just about started laughing but what the heck, let him have his fun.

That was nice of you. 
I would have probably been a jerk, walked up and said something like, hey, who rented the Hertz Corvette?

Hahaha!
Note to anyone trying to impress people with a rental car. Don't get the edition that is only currently available as a rental. Maybe in a year or so when they start selling them off but as of now any vette enthusiast would know it's a rental. What idiots.

At least he had his moment in the spotlight. Should have caught him alone though and told him nice rental car.

My decision would have been based on how he had treated the kids back in the day....
If he had been and idiot I would have exposed him.
If he had been a victim, I would have let him have his pretend 15minutes of fame....

Good point.
Either way, I feel sorry for the insecure/need to impress slob.
