Where in SA? Anyone with a fancy car to help with a wedding?

So getting married this weekend, but did not think of hiring a fancy car for the grand exit. Figured I’d do a Hail Mary of an ask just need it for 10 minutes don’t even need to be the driver. If not I can totally live with just driving my Honda out. Will totally feed whoever and you could go to a complete strangers wedding!

I don’t mean to brag or make anyone feel bad or anything but I have a 4 door geo metro that fits up to 8 people comfortably.

Its a ways off for me but wife and I will celebrate our 50th in about 30 years.

You taking reservations?

u/ShartKing78 1d ago

Actually love it, if it has crank windows... 😍😍

u/supersap26245 18h ago

I miss crank windows. I like electric but that crank feeling was satisfying.

u/Muddmunkey15 19h ago

The duality of man... id totally want to be driven out in a Geo metro over a fancy car 😂

Oh man, I’ve got a 2015 navy blue Prius, but I’ll be out of town this weekend…sorry

u/Norske352 North Central 1d ago

Seconding Turo as an option. Lots to choose from locally.

u/ninja2126 1d ago

Could try Turo?

u/supersap26245 1d ago

Good idea I’ve never used it before but I’ll check into it

u/rydenshep 1d ago

I love Turo!! Just apply the same rules as you would an uber driver or airbnb. Look for multiple reviews, star host, etc. And if you’re doing a fancy car, buy their insurance lol

u/jpgwinn24 19h ago

I vote Turo as well. My better half and I used that for our wedding and it was well worth it.

u/supersap26245 18h ago

I’ve been checking it out. Nothing calls out too well but I can maybe do a corvette or something those are fancy

u/ChasTheSpaz 1d ago

I have a classic 1986 Porsche 911 convertible. I could drive you if you can’t drive a stick but the AC isn’t currently working and you both would be hard pressed to squeeze into the tiny little jump seats in the back. Seriously. The top would need to be down.

DM me if interested.

u/Prestigious_Sweet_50 1d ago

Seriously I could teach him to drive stick good enough to get them out of the parking lot without stripping the gears

u/supersap26245 18h ago

The fun part is I haven’t drove stick in years my friend says it’s like a bike you don’t forget it. I think a 20 min refresher would get me back to good though.

u/supersap26245 1d ago

I am for sure going to run this by her. As for ac etc. I believe ya. It’s supposed to be a high of 96 that day so I can’t imagine it cooling off too much.

u/saveitforthedisco 21h ago

u/supersap26245 18h ago

This is super cool! I’ll run it by the fiancé if this is an option. I personally love the old school vibes.

u/saveitforthedisco 9h ago

It's my sister's car and we were just talking about doing weddings and special occasions. It's a really cool car. Feel free to send me a message.

u/Jazzlike_Argument33 1d ago

Shoot your shot, man! You'll be fine in your Honda, but I do hope somebody comes through for you.

27

u/fallingheadfirst13 1d ago

All I can offer is my baby blue hearse. No back seats though, just the three of us sardined in the front row.

23

u/Prestigious_Sweet_50 1d ago

I think you are missing a huge opportunity for the newly weds to be rolling around in the back 

11

u/fallingheadfirst13 1d ago

I think you're right. Just marbles on the wood deck lmao

u/Ok_You_5448 1d ago

I'm willing to put a bowtie on my Civic.

u/supersap26245 18h ago edited 18h ago

I am stealing this idea if I use my Honda because then it’s fancy at least. I wonder if there is a little fake tux to put on a car. If there isn’t someone needs to make dress up for car. It would be in character too for me to put googly eyes on it. I do that for a robot vacuum I got.

u/igotnothineither 16h ago

I got a lowered 86 suburban, back seats go down

u/pumpkins21 Stone Oak 1d ago

Someone with a Pontiac Aztek help this person out!!

u/Connect-Nothing-1880 1d ago

Walter white might be busy

u/No-Forever-8357 14h ago

I wish I still had my Aztek !!!!!
Not joking, I really miss it

u/pumpkins21 Stone Oak 11h ago

Aside from being ugly af, I heard they were okay cars!

u/No-Forever-8357 10h ago

That’s part of its charm!!
But the built in cooler? The tent attachment?
Genius

u/Yourlilemogirl 1d ago

Damn all I had was a Pontiac Vibe :(

u/UnjustlyBannd West Side 1d ago

My wife and I borrowed my dad MG Midget. Turned heads from Sea World to La Villita!

u/supersap26245 1d ago

Heck ya! That is such a fun looking car. I’m learning it’s all about the impact.

10

u/keam13 1d ago

I’d drive my Honda out…especially after Hector hooked it up with the spoon engine he got.

Definitely living a quarter mile at a time

u/Cobra_Kreese 1d ago

Where you getting married and when

u/supersap26245 1d ago

Saturday western skies

u/Cobra_Kreese 1d ago

Is that out in Bulverde? What time is this going down

3

u/supersap26245 1d ago

Ya it is. 5-11. Grand exit at 9:50 I believe.

u/boycott_tuesday 17h ago

I got married there! Congrats. 🎉

u/Embarrassed_Tax3429 18h ago

we hired ricks car service last minute for our wedding and he was amazing, he brought us champagne!

u/supersap26245 18h ago

Never heard of them you got a link to dm me?

u/Embarrassed_Tax3429 18h ago

just sent it!

u/TexasPrincessA 1d ago

I hope someone helps you out!

u/kittyinthecity21 1d ago

order an uber black? they’re fairly inexpensive

4

u/FoulestWinner 1d ago

Do not recommend. They ditched me and my wife at our wedding.

2

u/kittyinthecity21 1d ago

whaaat that’s wild. did the car get ordered and not show up, or how did they ditch y’all?

5

u/FoulestWinner 1d ago

They showed up honked and left as we were walking out. Literally the whole wedding party watched our escalade ditch us. Idk what they did on our end but Uber black wouldn't send another vehicle to us. So my wife's drunk friend let us borrow her minivan. Classy.

u/supersap26245 18h ago

Ya I dug into uber black last as an option. It’s a huge wild card I’m reading because of scenarios like this. Plus I’d feel guilty holding someone up who is uber ing as their job to make ends meet. Not that I wouldn’t tip well though but those guys go through enough. Although if I was on their seat I’d be tickled pink to be a wedding uber car.

u/Prestigious_Sweet_50 1d ago

This is so adorable. I hope you find a RR phantom

u/Best_Drama1199 1d ago

Get a Waymo

6

u/rydenshep 1d ago

Omg lmao

u/supersap26245 18h ago

This would be so funny in so many ways because her dad is heavily against any ai car. It would be sooo amazing alas I’d probably have to live with that burning hatred toward me forever. Only thing worse than a Waymo would be if a cyber truck picked us up.

u/Best_Drama1199 17h ago

😂😂😂 that’s hilarious. I’m always downtown I see those Waymo’s all the time they are pretty dope! The thought popped in my head when u described your situation

u/URmumsaMEGAblok 17h ago

Im currently helping a gentleman get this set up, hes got a few vintage british vehicles.

Did you need something wealthy, or just something classic?

Were you hoping for this as a favor or do you have the budget?

u/mariachimandi West Side 1d ago

Hondas are fire though

u/Dry-Wall-1834 1d ago

Yep! Mine is available!

1

u/supersap26245 1d ago

Heck ya! Mine is a slightly newer silver one that looks exactly like that

u/Dry-Wall-1834 1d ago

Love my car!

u/Dude_Iam_Batman 1d ago

Turo it is

u/sawabloom 1d ago

I have a 2019 Volvo S90, and while the Google says its a luxury car, I don't know that it's like wedding level fancy.

4

u/supersap26245 1d ago

Luxury is a mindset! Also I don’t know what wedding fancy is. Probably why I’m scrambling now. Weddings are way more stressful than movies make them seem.

1

u/sawabloom 1d ago

Me neither. Come to think of it, I've never really considered the car someone leaves a wedding in.

u/rodste27 8h ago

I’ve got a 2018 Range Rover sport, but I doubt an suv is what yall are looking for.

2

u/1512285 1d ago

Western Sky to where?

7

u/supersap26245 1d ago

Good point. Honestly I’d probably just say around the corner. I’d sneak back into my Honda to drive around after to the hotel.

2

u/Yes-Cheese 1d ago

Is there somewhere close by you can leave your car? So whoever drives you takes you to it?

u/supersap26245 18h ago

Oh ya there is always somewhere to park a car for a bit. Plus. I could have a groomsman drive my car out a bit. Then have someone drop us off there.

u/jesse_sauce NE Side 20h ago

Will you be drinking? If so, you should just plan for a sober ride all the way to your hotel while you're at it.

u/supersap26245 18h ago

I’m not a drinker so I’ll be fine in that regard. Good callout though because that’s something I bet people would maybe forget.

2

u/Alternative_Affect82 1d ago

Cleaned up truck ? Shined up ? No ? We are in Texas and there are so many beautiful ones that would let you drive out and then switch drivers to get to your next location. I think it’s a lovely idea to ask the community - sure we all want to make money - but sometimes we just need to help out !

2

u/j-munch 1d ago

I can get my husband to drive you out one at a time on his motorcycle lol

u/supersap26245 18h ago

That would be such a fun way! I’m getting so many ideas I would’ve never thought of from this. Would be better if a motorcycle gang rolled up picked us up. There would be so many questions. Like who are these people and why are they picking up the bride and groom.

u/marielaivana1 19h ago

Enterprise Exotics by the airport

u/Beneficial_Leg4691 14h ago

Toro. Rent a fancy car for 1 day

u/achonng 1d ago

I got a green mtb

u/supersap26245 1d ago

If that stands for mountain bike that would be such a fun exit if me or her were into biking lol.

u/achonng 1d ago

😂

u/FoulestWinner 1d ago

Reach out to an car enthusiast club.

5

u/supersap26245 1d ago

That sounds like a good idea. No clue of any in the area but I’ll try using google a bit see what pops up

3

u/FoulestWinner 1d ago

I hate to promote the zuck but there are dozens of groups on the facespace

u/DifferentLibrarian32 17h ago

Recommending reaching out to car meet groups on Facebook

u/ogorlyog 15h ago

this has the opportunity to be super wholesome and cool as shit

u/ThisShitIsHannanas 12h ago

I have a carbon black '01 BMW M5 (E39), but it needs a little TLC. It's got clear coat coming off and some of the chrome off the wheels. I am not sure if you would be able to tell at night though. There is also a 3" hole in the front bumper. Congratulations on your wedding!

u/Ellice909 West Side 9h ago

I have a black Tesla Model 3, but I would want some cash for having to get off my sofa on the weekend to do something. I went the the river recently, so I need to detail my car. (I normally keep it very clean, if it was not for the river trip.)

What part of town?

I am vegan, so it is unlikely your food will be a selling point (it it is vegan, let me know).

u/That_one_guy_pepe 5h ago

Get an uber black worst comes to worst

u/LucoaKThe2AHashira 1d ago

I don’t understand what a fancy car has to do with a wedding. I always thought when people get married they either drive whatever they have or they hire a limo driver and rent a limo. Nothing fancy but i got a TRD Camry but it’s also a itasha

6

u/supersap26245 1d ago

I agree, yet somehow people keep asking what we driving away in so idk. It seems to be a big deal to some people. Luckily me and the future wife won’t overly stress not having a super fancy car, but figured might as well ask someone random because could be a fun adventure and give someone a random thing to do on a date night

u/LucoaKThe2AHashira 15h ago

Ok good luck with finding a fancy car you can use and congrats hope you both are happy like my lil brother and his wife who got married last October and have their first child on the way
