I Rented A Broken C8 Corvette On Turo, And My Girlfriend HATED It! (For Good Reason)

[@starkyslp16]

Those doors, license plate, and being on Turo... I would just assume there's a lot broken and zero maintenance. Congrats to Jacob!

There aren't many things I hate more than fake lambo doors.

With the convertible top button being on the door and the way that wire harness looks in those doors.... I wouldn't be surprised if it's just a wiring issue from that shoddy door work.

Meeting notes at Turo..."Hey, should we sponsor this KZbin Dude in Kansas?" "Has he rented from us before and videoed it?" "Yes, seems he finds the worst of Turo and gets those cars." "No way, I don't want anyone putting Turo in a bad light because the owner was dumb enough to put Lambo doors on a C8 and rent out a broken car!" May I suggest National? Or if trying to save the most, Budget? Just an idea Elliott. Always cool to see another video and congrats to Jacob's cousin on getting married! That shot of your girlfriend and the suitcase....priceless!! What? NO CATS in this video? LOL

@@ElliottAlvis With all due respect, that is called _shilling._ When you purposely omit pertinent information just to appease your captors...I mean $ponsors. This shows a lack of honor and integrity.

[@ElliottAlvis]

Thank you! Things are looking up!

[@clifbradley]

Anyone that buys a C8 then puts lambo doors on it, clearly doesn't care about the car, probably can't afford it, or barely can. He can't get the car serviced because he modified the doors.

Something tells me the lambo doors somehow messed up with the top operation. Not sure why but it's just a hunch. lol

[@illiyakuryakin3092]

In the beginning of the video, you sound angry because Turo is not sponsoring you. After this video, I think you know why. And why would you want to be after renting this wreck (And others previously)? You also sounded like you were blaming the C8 for defects when it was really the owner’s very poor maintenance and stupid options he installed. But toward the end of the video you cleared up those points. Good work.

[@ElliottAlvis]

Thanks for giving it a chance and watching it all the way through. I tried to bring it back around!

[@dakotahneal8110]

I thought you were married with kid(s)? And if memory serves your girlfriend looks a lot like your wife? Are you just joking around to get some Hoovie points or did something happen? And if so, is that why regular videos died off on your channel? Great to see a video out, looking forward to the next ones.

[@ElliottAlvis]

All I can say is: yes. Thanks! I’ll keep trying to get more out more regularly.

[@RowanRedbrush]

What an absolute basket case! I'm all for fitting in and driving something fun, Elliott, but this is a bit much! Next time treat your wife to something with more space! And congrats to Jacob!

[@ElliottAlvis]

Yeah, it was a bit cramped with the luggage. Luckily we only had to travel like that to and from the airport. The rest of the time we just had to deal with all of the car’s other shortcomings 😂. Thanks for watching as always Bunker.

[@TheRealAlpha2]

Congrats to Jacob on the wedding. Also congrats if the GF stuck around after this experience. I suppose Dunking on Turo is probably not the best way to get sponsored by them, but then again would you want to when every experience with their cars is objectively worse than any other way you could experience a particular car? I hope you managed to get at partial refund, tho maybe this video will handle that.

[@ElliottAlvis]

Yeah I wasn’t intending to dunk on Turo as much as I did, but they still don’t know who I am, and I’ve gotten some real turds from them 😂. It’s more on the owner than on Turo though.

[@pkt1213]

I bought my old 944 back a few years ago. My wife packed a huge bag for 4 days. I told her it would be better to pack something smaller. Was ignored. I still hear about how there was no room in the car. I had my bag, a set of wheels, and some other stuff.

[@ElliottAlvis]

Oh yikes! Thats even worse than my situation 😂

[@stevec5000]

Wait, Elliot has a girlfriend?

[@jeffbeaver4419]

Lesson learned...be careful when renting from Turo. Poor quality control. My new 2024 C8 is arriving in about 4 weeks. Can not wait....

[@tjmoneybags]

As a newer viewer/subscriber, your complaints that were entirely the fault of the guy on Turo that doesnt maintain his car but rents it out anyways.... you kinda made sound like they were Chevy's fault....which none of your problems were. This was just this Turo owners fault you had a bad experience, funny as they were. For instance, I kind of think that the squirrelly feeling you were getting was because of one rear wheel that is over an inch difference in size according to the measurements you read off. The sensors at any speed would be telling the computer that the smaller wheel is spinning because it is rotating faster than the other one. That could explain a lot...not Chevy's fault. Glad to see I dont want to add lambo doors when I get one....not Chevy's fault. Owner didn't update the software.....camera fail not Chevy's fault. You didn't tell your GF to pack in smaller bags since you rented a Vette...not Chevy's fault. I know you didn't rail on Chevy and I'm not on you either. Just keeping score for the person who doesn't know Vettes that stops by. I do hope you complained to Turo and get your money back. That is just bad business when the owner rents a convertible and know it doesn't work. Please do an update letting us know if you got your money back, AND let people know its NOT CHEVY's fault. Best wishes!

[@ElliottAlvis]

I didn’t mean to make any of it seem like Chevy’s fault! I’m a huge huge huge corvette guy. Possibly to a fault. Every issue this car had was because of the owner. I’m sorry if it came off as anything other than that.

[@tjmoneybags]

@@ElliottAlvis glad you responded. I didn't take it as a hate video...but maybe your sarcasm was hidden a bit at first. You sounded sarcastically pissed off.... as I would have been. But it almost seemed like a review of the car citing probs. No worries. Enjoyed it none the less and do hope you got something back on that rental.

Fun video, Elliott. Good to see you back. What a review…what a license plate…. And that darned door! Great outtakes at the end…lol!

[@salvatorecerniglia696]

By the way, as far as the convertible top goes, that button you kept clcking is supposed to be held down until the top goes down and you get a message on the dash saying the top is secure then. Then you release the button. The same applies in putting up the top only in reverse. Just pull the button up and hold it until the top comes all the way up and locks. Then you should get your message on the dash saying it's secured and then you release the button. Hope this helps... Good luck!

[@ElliottAlvis]

You’re right! I’ve put the top down in C8’s before. Which is how I knew this one was broken lol

[@salvatorecerniglia696]

But the way you talk about it, it sounds like you're putting the car down whether you realize it or not. And with my Lambo doors, not once that I ever have the paint chip off of the doors or fenders on either side... Ever! But like you said also, it's a rental car and most people won't treat it like it's their own car. Car thus you end up with what you got.

Some Turo cars don't seem the well taken care of due to lazy owners

[@salvatorecerniglia696]

I beg to differ with you. The Lamborghini doors do work when they're probably installed. After the initial installation of the doors, usually about 1-3 months. And there's a screw up with old hinges used to be for each door. That will adjust the height of the door so it probably opens and closes. I had them in my 2020 Corvette for almost 2 years. Never an issue except the alignment of the driver's door which was opened and closed a lot was just starting to need an adjustment on its alignment. I personally found them to be more commerce in getting in and getting out but the doors work fine if properly installed.
