Rented in Southern California last weekend and waited a few minutes to not have to take a PT Cruiser. Counter guy said they get a lot of that. Really a lot of that. He is looking forward to them going away so people don't bite his head off when that is all he can offer. Rumor is Thrifty wanted absolute upper limits on how few of the ugly things they had to accept, but Chrysler tried to impose a much higher number, and suddenly Ford had a new fleet customer.
I just rebooked Hawaii a few minutes ago because Mrs. Jayer changed the dates on me and my good Avis price was no longer available. At first I was relieved to see a good price still available at Thrifty and Dollar. Now I'm getting really depressed at the thought of a really sucking Island ride. I guess I've lived through a week of PTC before, and I don't really know anyone there anyway.
