It Hertz, Don't It?

I'll be traveling to Colorado next month, but when I get there, thank God --thank our merciful God above -- that I won't have to rent a car.

Apparently this tough economy has hit rental car companies especially hard. It was reported today that a lady in Minneapolis rented a vehicle, only to discover that even with her stellar rental history with the company, she was given a vehicle with over 20,000 miles on it.

Horrors!

"You know, I've come to expect that new car smell nearly every time I rent a car, and now, I only get jalopies. It's unbelievable! Stained upholstery, the check engine light is on...these vehicles are used. This isn't me. What do they think I'm paying them for?"
