If so, without payment for the use of the car how is there consideration there?
Again, not disagreeing. I'm no expert, just don't understand your point.

Well it's a bit of a stretch, but as you probably know by now law school exams always have these stupid little things thrown in that you're expected to do something with.
I'm no expert here, but I was thinking that the hiring coupled with the use of the hirer's car could be construed as an employment relationship as well as a short term lease of the vehicle to the hired party. Consideration wouldn't be an issue, the simple act of relinquishing use of the vehicle for 4 hours is sufficient to constitute consideration.
It's a pretty weak argument, at least on what we have here, but I always found that stuff like that jumped me up a letter grade on my exams.
Sorry for turning your party into a law school exam JohnnyTitan
