'Here's How I Found Out:' Man Rents Out His Car on Turo. Then He Discovers a Customer Swapped Out His Transmission
One man says that a person who rented his car through Turo intentionally caused serious damage to the vehicle. Now he isn't sure if he'll ever get his money back. He wishes he had never done business with Turo. Get the best news, reviews, columns, and more delivered straight to your inbox, daily. back Sign up For more information, read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use . TikToker Pauli (@champagnepauliiiii) recently revealed what happened when he rented his car on Turo. Pauli explains that he had a 2016 Ford Mustang in addition to his everyday work car. To make some extra money, he decided to rent the Mustang on Turo. 'I only rented it out once, and the piece of [expletive] swapped the transmission in my car,' Pauli says. 'I'll never rent on Turo again,' he adds. His post has over 112,000 views as of this writing. What Is Turo? Turo is like Airbnb but for cars. Instead of going the traditional route of renting through a place like Enterprise or Avis, it allows you to rent others' personal cars. Like how Airbnb disrupted the hotel market, Turo is disrupting the rental car service industry by offering cheaper prices, a wider selection, convenient pickup, and longer rentals. In most states, you can even rent a Turo through Uber . It's called Uber Rent, and they have access to Turo's car selection. How Did He Realize They'd Taken His Transmission? Pauli may never have known what happened if his Mustang didn't have a manual transmission. He says that after he got the car back, he had to change out the clutch multiple times within a few months. At first, Pauli says he just thought he didn't know how to shift properly. Trending Now 'That's Obviously a Villain Car:' Man Spots Honda Fit in Parking Lot. Then He Notices the Back 'Enjoy That Day Off:' Man Asks People to Photoshop a Video to Look Like He Crashed His Car to Skip Work. The Internet Complies But eight months and two clutch replacements later, he took it to the Ford dealership to try to get to the bottom of the persistent issue. 'These bolts have been replaced. These were not screwed back in properly,' he says the mechanic told him. Then he contacted Turo. He says they 'were not much help.' 'When you steal from a person that is trying to make it or an individual that is just trying to find a way to make a couple bucks, there is a real special place in hell for pieces of [expletive] like you,' Pauli says. 'I hope they got what they deserved." What Should He Have Done? Pauli's options are most likely limited. If he had opted into Turo's protection plan, Pauli would have had to send documentation of the vehicle's condition and file a damage claim within 24 hours of getting his Mustang back. Pauli doesn't say in the video whether he signed up for the protection plan. But since he didn't know about the damage until eight months later, he wouldn't have been able to file a claim within 24 hours, anyway. He could also sue the renter. This is probably his best option, but there are still roadblocks to relief. To prevail, he'd need proof the transmission was swapped out and that they were the one who did so. He'd also need their identifying information, such as name and address, which he might need to get from Turo. This is further complicated by the fact that Turo's terms state that if you sue a renter, they may charge you $5,500 for breach of contract. So he could win a new transmission and still lose money. Is There Another Explanation? Multiple commenters said that there could be another reason why his transmission had new bolts. It's nowhere near as nefarious as a customer stealing it. 'Transmission has to be unbolted from the engine to do a clutch job,' wrote one. 'If clutch was replaced twice already by a 3rd party shop more than likely the bolts were replaced by the shop.'. 'Can't put that on the Turo ride. U had it opened up twice for clutch jobs. Could have been done wrong during that,' another said.

2026 Ford Mustang FX package channels Fox body glory with retro touches
The so-called "Fox body" Ford Mustangs, the third-generation cars built from 1979 through 1993, are enjoying a sort of nostalgia-driven renaissance in interest these days. Unsurprisingly, this is because those who were young when the Fox bodies were on sale are now older, maybe with some extra cash and spare garage space to start collecting these Mustangs off-lawn, so to speak. How "in" are Fox bodies these days? Ford is even getting in on the action with a new FX package that celebrates the Mustang defined by the 1980s. This isn't the first time Ford has dipped into Fox-body lore lately, either — when the current Mustang arrived for 2024, its digital gauge cluster even included a setting that recreates the Fox body's old-school analog gauge pack. The FX package takes the nostalgia a lot further, of course, with white badges, white wheels, retro "Mustang" lettering and more. It's available only on the Mustang GT Premium trim level, on both the coupe and convertible, and with or without the Performance package. Favorite Ford classics: These 10 old Ford Mustangs are hugely underappreciated It ain't real if it ain't teal Ford doesn't choose just any white paint for the FX package; since all things Mustang must treat time like a flat circle, everything you see painted white is, specifically, painted Oxford White, a hue that was available on the original Mustang. It's used for the "GT" badges, wheels, retro "Mustang" sticker on the rear glass (coupe only), and the "nostrils" in the grille on Performance package variants. There are two wheel designs and both evoke classic Fox body designs, with the version you see here adopting a slick turbofan style. The other version — for non-Performance-pack cars — is a classic five-spoke. Both wear color-matched center caps bearing "Mustang GT" lettering in what Ford says is a new font (that happens to look like an old, Fox-body font, but who's keeping close track?). In case you missed it: The 1969 Ford Mustang Boss legacy lives on Oh, and speaking of paint, the FX package introduces a new-for-2026 paint color (which also will be available on other '26 Mustangs): Adriatic Blue Metallic. Put simply, it's a rad teal color (pictured here) — what could be more Fox-body-era than that? Another new paint color this year is Orange Fury Metallic. It has no specific history linked to the Fox body, it's just worth mentioning since it hasn't been offered on the Mustang since 2019. Pivotal digital Setting aside how blown peoples' minds would have been if, in the 1980s, their Fox body Mustangs came with the sort of digitized dashboard that today's Mustang gets (FX package included), Ford has put some effort into backdating the FX's interior. Plaid-like seat inserts do a lot of the heavy lifting here, but remember, there's always that Fox body gauge cluster option. Less obvious is the Dark Alley interior trim borrowed from the Mustang Dark Horse model, as well as subtle blue stitching and a "Mustang GT" badge on the passenger-side dash. Ford hasn't outlined the FX package's price yet, but mentions that order books for the 2026 Mustang lineup overall open in later in June 2025. We'll surely find out then how much this retro FX package (and the Mustang overall) costs. But if you want to rock out with your 1980s out in a new-generation Mustang, you should definitely peep this one. Photos by manufacturer
