Ok. This is astounding. You’ll be floored.
First, some context: I rent a lot of cars. We have one vehicle and I often need to bomb out of town for airport runs, taking kids to stuff etc... and the truck is murder on gas. So, I rent a lot of cars. So many, that even without a frequent-renter membership or whatever program Avis has, I get upgrades from time-to-time.
I have a rental for this weekend. I’d booked a compact car for three days and got a smoking-good rate $75.04 for all three days, taxes included. My credit card covers the damage protections.
Anyway, they threw me an upgrade yesterday when I went to pick it up. Consequently I’m driving around in a new BMW 330i for the next few days.
Here it is in my driveway.
All of that is pretty cool. But - and this is revolutionary information - I just found out, that contrary to everything we’ve been told, over the entire history of 3-series Bimmers, the turn signals do in fact, WORK!!!!!
I was shocked.

Here in Atlanta, turn signals seem to stop working primarily in cars that are driven by people with Uber or Lyft stickers in their windows. The stickers must blow out the fuse or something.

The world must be coming to an end. Next you're gonna tell me when you park it's within the lines.

I know. It’s uncanny. It also seems to let me see pedestrians and other cars. I may be currently living in an alternate reality.

Have you felt a strong urge to split two parking spaces? I got an upgrade to business class from SF to Tokyo once. It has ruined my travels in coach ever since... I don't rent many cars.

Oh man. I onc e got the Business Class upgrade. It killed travelling for me. I can’t afford Business normally so I fly Coach. I would have rather never had the experience.
