I had another good experience in BOS this week. Got the e-mail in advance with my rental agreement and saw they had put me in a Toyota Venza with 22k miles on the odometer, so I was hoping to change at the booth. When I arrived and asked, the next offer was a Chevy Equinox. I told the attendant since it was just me traveling I wasn't looking for something bigger, just something nicer. At that point it clicked, and he told me to pick any of the sports cars in view around the booth. Not wanting to be greedy (well, MORE greedy) I told him to just pick the one they were least likely to rent. He started with a Mustang but withdrew the offer when he found it was a V6 model, then offered me a Hemi Challenger (which I took). It wasn't the world's best vehicle, but it sure beat a Venza!
