It was such an upgrade from the vehicle I owned that I didn't realize I was going 98 mph until my passenger tapped me on the shoulder to show me the flashing lights next to me.<BR/><BR/>Somehow I talked my way out of a ticket and my passenger was ticketed for not wearing her seatbelt.

It wouldn't turn! I walked back into the store in a huff and told them thier crappy car didn't work because it wouldn't turn. They looked at me like i was crazy and said "um, it doesn't have power steereing". Oops. Guess I am too young to have ever driven a car without power steering. I sure felt dumb. So at least take comfort in the fact that your car had power steering.

Especially since I just returned a rental after having my car in the shop for 2 days. The rental was dirty - outside and in. There was even a leftover piece of shredded cheese which had hardened in the center console. I had similar difficulties with the accelerator, causing a number of stuttered starts and hesitations in traffic. And something I consider a major insult in rental cars - the tank was on empty when I got it. As I pulled in to the nearest gas station, the warning chime sounded. Needless to say, I was overjoyed to have my own, comfortable car back again. :-PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1146081800638259882006-04-26T16:03:00.000-04:002006-04-26T16:03:00.000-04:00Did you try offereng to *pay* for a nicer car?

By the time brake failure concerns were mentioned I was out of control! I am certain that the previous driver had pre-selected radio stations you hate and then there's the smell of that cheap incense spray that the "Make Ready" guys are instructed to use to give you "that new car smell". I guess by comparison I've been lucky with the "Econoboxes" I've rented. The main thing is to get home safely.<BR/><BR/>Great to hear that the meeting was successful!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539850495318868267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1146028370689524352006-04-26T01:12:00.000-04:002006-04-26T01:12:00.000-04:00If you are not a Gold Card Carrying Member of this...If you are not a Gold Card Carrying Member of this rental company, may I suggest they give you one free of charge to make sure you get a Luxury car the next time you need to avail them of service.<BR/><BR/>Agent: welcome to rent a wrek<BR/>Carmi: Wreck is right !!
