Round one: Most imaginative description<\/span><\/h3>\n

These contestants are veritable lyrical gangsters, bringing art and poetry to car rentals across the United States. From comparing the \u201896 Accord to wild horses in New Mexico to rhapsodizing about a particularly saucy and temperamental middle-aged Fiat, these\u00a0are some resident Hemingways of the Turo marketplace.<\/span><\/p>\n

And the winner is… <\/span><\/p>\n

KEVIN’S PORSCHE 911<\/h4>\n

\u201cThis 2012 911 Carrera 4GTS is something very, very special. It will make your days seem effortless, your worries seem pedestrian, and your kids seem more obedient. You might be at a restaurant and have a server spill hot soup on you. \u2018No bother, Blake,\u2019 you’ll say, \u2018I just rented a 911 Carrera 4GTS.\u2019”<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

And a tip of the hat to the runners up:<\/h3>\n

KIRK’S HONDA ACCORD<\/h4>\n

\u201cAh, the 1996 Honda Accord. What more is there really to say? You will have no problem blending in with this car, because they sold like a million of these things and they’re all still out there running like stallions through a New Mexican river.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

RODRIGO’S FIAT SPIDER<\/h4>\n

\u201cGioia is seductive and charming, but make no mistake about her, as a middle-aged Italian lady born in 1973, Gioia is temperamental and prefers to take her time. With a voluptuous 52 HP engine in her rear end, she will make her sweet voice heard not so subtlety from the back.\u201d <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
