Took the Snuze into the shop for some warranty work. Got a Dodge Dart as a rental. I’ll do a more thorough RCR when I’ve had more time with it, and I have a sneaking suspicion that I’ll get a lot of time with it considering I think the Cruze needs a new turbo.

But so far it doesn’t seem all that bad.

I learned yesterday that you can make a Dart sound like a dirt bike by slamming it into reverse while moving.

Kinda weird they gave you a Chrysler product. I know the GM dealers here have Enterprise on site and only give out GM cars. Took my Sol in for extended warranty, they ran out of premium cars so they gave me a Traverse. It was that or a Silverado...

My dealer uses an offsite Enterprise, so you get whatever is on the lot. They had some SUVs, 4 Corollas and a single Dart. I thought the Dart looked lonely so I decided to take it with me. My dealer is also one of those big-mega-multi-brand-dealers, they have GM and Fiat/Chrysler at this location and a couple miles away Maserati, Nissan, and Infiniti.

Interesting... The only think I can think is my rental dart has the little manual shift thing, you pull it from D to the left and then it has a +/- gate to up and down shift. Maybe he thought he was in manual mode... but wasn’t.

That could be. It was very weird, that’s for sure.
