But I was given this Honda Accord coupé with a Landau roof. It’s ok, I guess...

Who am I kidding, I had to force myself not to SQUEEEEEE when the agent told me.

I booked an Camry-type car once and was given a Genesis sedan. It was glorious compared to the beige hell that could have awaited me.

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > fhrblig 06/06/2016 at 12:00

We booked a Yaris-sized car and got a Sonata.

I think your upgrade was better.

Bruh, I think it’s a Chevy Spark

I booked an S550 and got a Ford Fiesta.

I was pleasantly surprised.

We like to shit on automatic V6 convertible Mustangs, but fuck it, still worlds better than anything else you could find at a rental center.

This never happens to me. I book a Corolla, I get a Corolla. I book a Camry, I get a Camry. I book an Infiniti G37, I get the G37. Never get any sort of free upgrade or changes. :-(.

I get free upgrades about once a month.

It’s always a minivan.

I feel sorry for the pedestrians you are inevitably bound to hit.

I love minivans but it seems like it would be terrible as a rental. To be honest I've never rented a car but it seems if it was for a business situation that would suck in almost all aspects.

It's funny how excited they have to pretend to be to offer me such a wonderful opportunity.

Ha! I have been a rental agent, and I probably have given you one.

I would always say yes to a minivan, but I’m weird.

Once I booked the smallest shitbox possible and by virtue of my flight being late, all Budget had left to rent me was a Taurus with the Duratec V6, leather, and a sunroof. Thanks, American!

I want to try a Genesis at some point. I’m drawn to them.

Well, I am planning to visit the Shelby museum at some point... OPPORTUNITY!

Anymore when I rent a car I tend to have to schlep people and baggage around, so I’d take a Camry.

Sometimes I don't care but if I'm trying to street park in San Fran I'll take a Fiat over a minivan any day.

Definitely not a bad way to spend 1,300 miles or so over two days. The V6 has adequate power, and I was seeing almost 30mpg even on the highway cruising near 75mph. Sitting in the back seats is awesome as well because there is a ton of leg room.

You have a 5.0 R-Spec? How do you like it?

It's phenomenal. It has the smoothest power deliver of anything I've ever driven. Handling is....good for a big sedan, but I'd like a little more surgical feel. It needs better tires badly.
