Rentals sure seem to be abused frequently at the company I work for. In SoCal last year, I was a passenger in a Winstar that was probably subjected to about 15 "neutral drops" (putting auto tranny into neutral, flooring it, then dumping the car into drive) in a 90 min. drive. There was small rubber bits stuck to the body.
An Escort rolled a few years back due to another employee trying to rally around a mountain road, and a different employee thoroughly thrashed an Outback trying to offroad it a little more than a unibody car can take.
I for one would never buy a rental (even though I have been relatively kind to rentals - even the piece of crap Hyundai that Avis gave me 2 years ago).

PS - forgot to mention the employee who rented a scooter and then proceeded to "downhill" it on a downhill mountain bike race course. She ended up buying the chunk of smoking plastic when finished.
