He must have wanted to save the other vehicles - nothing really noteworthy to cause me to test him - for people traveling with more than one roll-aboard and PC bag. Man, the trunk is small w/o a spare (just an inflator is standard?) and with the spare - and a temp at that - it's ludicrous.
Interesting - so you got an S60 with a Premium reservation there? I actually asked at the booth on Friday what level I needed to rent at to get one and was told that there was no way for me to get one - I had to be an "invited" VIP. I had been wondering because there is no "Premium" aisle that I could see at PDX, so was afraid of getting stuck in the dreaded Grand Marquis that I see there from time to time.
