I get discounts on car rentals through work. Would it be dumb to rent a Porsche for the day on my birthday next month? Pros/cons? Would probably run me $100.

Does it bring you joy? That seems like the price of a cheap date. Do it! Plan a good route to drive it, take yourself somewhere fun, etc.

It’s always worthwhile to create memories and you’ll probably look back and be happy you did — more than a $100 investment anywhere else.

Imagine one day you look back and wished you did rent the car for your birthday- there’s no cons.

I would lease porsche

Have fun!

Go for it you only live once!

Have some fun

If it's a discount, go for it.

Will this rental be taking away from housing rent, utilities or other bills being paid on time? Are you going to let anyone, not on the rental agreement, drive the car? Are you planning on returning the car to a location other than the one you rent it from? Are you planning on foregoing the rental insurance or using your own insurance? Will this be the only high performance vehicle you've ever driven? Are you planning on using any mind-altering or intoxicating substances or having anyone with you using them while renting this vehicle?
If YES was the answer to any off those questions, you might want to reconsider.

I used to have a National Car Rental charge card. I had two cars, but I would often and regularly rent cars to drive on vacation, for the weekend or just because. Monte Carlos, Camaros, Firebirds; I would stroll and roll and pay the tolls.
I let my 'GF' take the Firebird to her beauty school to show off to her friends. She was gone 4 days, no contact. Cost me 700.00 and made me late on mortgage. Took the Caprice through the car wash before heading taking back to ORD; the bristles wrapped around the driver side mirror, nearly tearing it off the door and putting a huge dent in it. Glad I opted for the insurance.
Lessons learned, paying it forward. Don't let a landmark in your life, ruin the rest of it. Be mindful, sober, stingy and humble. Get all the insurance, fill the tank before returning and enjoy your night!

What happens if you drive into Canada or Mexico will come after their car or what happens you drive it all the way to the tip of South America and then on a ship or plane to the next continent or major land mass ?

It would be dumb not to do it

I you gotta go American
