I rent a lot of cars (more than 25 rentals a year) and have been wanting to write reviews on some of them that I had driven more than a couple of times, but I was always afraid to. I'll be bookmarking this review for future reference....

THANKS!!!!

I am one of "those members" who is terrified of writing about my car. Silly, because it's probably the one thing I can write about with which I have daily experience! Thanks to this guide, you can expect to see my review(s) pop up soon.
Thanks much

"At least I can promise not to include any lists."
I hope your husband realizes how lucky he is.

"That said, I must take you to task for one egregious abomination. "
Only one? Damn, I'll have to try harder next time...

"This is awesome! Excellent! Wonderful!"
Please reread point 2 under "pay attention to the signs." Although, I suppose there can be exceptions...


Thanks to you all for the comments. Here's hoping somebody actually makes use of this...

Not that I'm trying to put any of you on the spot or anything...

I found this Most Helpful. One of our vehicles has no reviews, and if I can't convince my husband to write it, I just might have to be guided by your guide. At least I can promise not to include any lists.

While I will not wax as effusively as the previous commenter, I would concur that you have crafted a fine Cars & Motorsports review writing guide.


That said, I must take you to task for one egregious abomination. You said...
"4. Sclooh Zone."

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Everyone knows it is 'Skool Zone'..! What an unsightly 'door ding' on a fine piece of writing that is this essay.

Well, I suppose you could have smashed upside the curbing and left us all to walk home. So thankful for small miracles we are.


Very nicely said.

This is awesome! Excellent! Wonderful!

Seriously - it's exactly what I think we need in terms of a "guide" for newbies and individuals who are intimidated to write in this category.
