And I used to only worry about buying rentals from a rental agency. I guess the old adage is true: there's nothing faster than a rented car.

PLYMOUTH, N.H. —
A Connecticut man was arrested Wednesday after police said he drove 127 mph in a rented car.
Troopers said they initially clocked Benjamin Saxon traveling 101 mph on Interstate 93 in Tilton in December.
When a trooper pulled out behind him, he accelerated to 127 mph while trying to escape, police said, leading troopers on a chase through Sanbornton, Meredith, New Hampton and Plymouth.
“The vehicle traveled at excessive speeds, exhibited lane control issues and extinguished their lights while driving in attempts to evade police,” police wrote in a news release.
Eventually, a trooper was able to successfully deploy a tire-deflation device, police said. The car then got off I-93 and came to a stop on Tenney Mountain Highway in Plymouth. Police said no one was inside the vehicle when it was found.
Troopers said Saxon rented the car through the vehicle-sharing app Turo.
He faces charges including two counts of reckless conduct with a deadly weapon, unauthorized use of rental property, falsifying physical evidence, two counts of disobeying an officer, reckless operation and operating without lights.
