Sometimes you can find a manual box truck at the local Budget, Enterprise or Penske truck rental location (Penske being easiest but also usually highest priced). $20-50 for a day plus mileage is much cheaper than a new Porsche clutch. Plus they learn really quickly about vehicle size and how to properly use side mirrors. Thus you kill 3 birds w/ one stone. Then all you need is a big empty parking lot and you're golden.

Good luck

Anyone considering this should closely look at the rental agreement. Usually only insured drivers on the contract over 25 year old are allowed to drive the car you rent unless you add someone else to the contract specifically.
