In XNA yesterday, I got there and there was the dreaded Town Car key attached to my packet. I explained that the car was a "boat" and I wanted something "out of the ordinary" for my couple hour rental. The first thing I was offered was a 4-door F150. I guess that's not a "boat" by their standards. They wound up giving me the Camaro SS Convertible. For 2 hours of driving (for a quick meeting) on a sunny day, that was a great car. I know many don't like the Camaro but I enjoy this car a lot if I'm by myself somewhere for a few days.
