Cardboard or coroplast wheel spats, held on with a couple of binder clips (what you use to hold 30 or more sheets of paper together) from the office. Something else to you can remove when you fill-up before turning it in.

I like the idea of having a spare SG and cable that I travel with. However finding a convient way to temporarly mount it and fish the wire without leaving sticky tape residue everywhere when you remove it seems like trouble. Also the one time you forget to remove it before turning it back in.

We are all fairly comfortable P&G with our manuals at home. Now we have to figure out how to do it in an automatic. I agree with War Wagon here --it seems like it would be easy to damage the rental. If you're not use to to the Shift to Nuetral from Drive without going to far, foot off accelerator, key off, key back on to get steering back... Something you should learn on your own vehicle in familiar locations before trying on something else on unfamiliar roads.
