If you drive a badass car and get in a wreck where you’re not at fault

Does the at-fault insurance have to get you a badass rental car? Or just a piece of crap of their choosing?

Enjoy your Ford Pinto, baw. It loves getting rear ended almost as much as you.

Louisiana mandatory minimum for property damage coverage is $25,000, so that’s not covering your Lamborghini rental for long.

Is the “badass” car your everyday ride?

What about a Lanos? It’s a killer.

Had a ‘74 Firebird Formula 400 with 48 k miles on it. It was totaled after being hit by a kid in a pickup. Rental vehicle provided was a POS Jeep Patriot. It was like driving a tampon.

No, but they don’t know that.

If I don’t get an Audi RS7, I’m calling the best billboard lawyer money can buy.

Well, the other person's insurance isn't giving you shite up front. You can rent a car yourself, and file a claim (or lawsuit) in an effort to be made whole, and in a general sense you are entitled to that money.
If the specific nature of your rental car becomes an issue, that could conceivably fall on a judge to decide. At that point, you're rolling the dice. Personally, if some kid flattened your Ferrari like a can, and you rented a Cadillac instead of a Daewoo, I think I'd just give you the cash.
If you rented a Ferrari, though, I'd probably make you cover the difference between that and the Cadillac. Wrecks happen; it's not up to the rest of the world to feed your midlife crisis. The law has a (subjective, I admit) concept of reason.

If you have blonde hair and nice tits you'll get a bmw or caddy.

Why should my lifestyle suffer because I was hit at no fault of my own? I would not risk the high out of pocket cost of something extra but I sure would not be taking the cheapest rental.

Speaking of random shite, is uninsured motorist insurance a scam? I say yes, I have insurance already so what does having that added to it do?

That's a good argument, but I think a good attorney would counter-argue that your lifestyle did not really suffer because you had to temporarily drive a Cadillac instead of a Ferrari. You still got a car easily capable of reaching the legal speed limit quickly, with A/C, a stereo, comfortable seats, lots of cargo area, etcetera.
All you lost was difficult-to-quantify value of overpaying for a luxury good, and in general that value is not a part of "making someone whole."
For example, unless you're a major league pitcher, an injury settlement is probably not going to cover surgery by Dr. James Andrews, particularly if he costs 15 times what Rajesh Patel, MD at STPH costs.
