when Hertz rents you a "compact car" ...

During our trip to southeastern Michigan last week, Sabrina and I decided to rent a car from Hertz. Now, the reservation was for a compact ($19.79 per day with AAA discount, plus $17 per day in surcharges [23 year old driver], and $21 per day for Loss Damage Waiver insurance [car is destroyed, you owe nothing])...

Upon arrival, we were informed that they no longer had any compact cars, and were asked ... "would a Mustang be okay?"

"Uhm, sure. As long as I don't have to pay any more than a compact."

"It's yellow, is that okay?"

"Sure."

So, I got a 2004 Ford Mustang V6 automatic colored in "Arrest-Me Yellow" for three days to haul around Michigan.

Meheheh.



Oh yeah... I found the button to turn off the traction control when it was raining on Friday night. I'll leave the results up to the reader's imagination.
