OK, so my girl has put up with this car addiction of mine since the beginning of our relationship, without asking for a whole lot in return. In fact, she loves cars almost as much as I do, but she tends to love the ones that I'd have to take a second mortgage to afford 
So, it's our anniversary this weekend, and I planned a little trip to NYC. There is an exotic car rental company based in NYC called Gotham Dream Cars, so I'm rentin' this pull-me-over Red 360 Spider for the weekend so we can tool around the city in style ... And of course, I'm doin' it all for HER 
Anyone used Gotham Dream Cars before?

Make sure you take it up to Westchester or over to NJ to get some open road.
Have fun!

Sounds like fun, but I'm not sure I'd rent that car to drive around in NYC

$1,050 for 12 hours? Actually sounds reasonable for a hot-blooded Italian fling! 
Add some extra for tickets, bail etc. 
I see that they only charge $1.95 per extra mile - I would bring her up to CT to enjoy!
