I'd rather be caught dead then be seen in a minivan, so the expedition it was!

Also got billed $28 for gas even though I returned it full... Yikes.
Last time I got an Expedition, I had to drive from Boise to Redfish Lake for a wedding. "You're SURE you don't have anything smaller?" "I'm upgrading you, don't complain." "Wait, you just said it's all you have. So, not really an upgrade is it? It's a 'get this guy out of my face'. You're gonna pay for half the gas then right?" "NEXT!" I was furious.

Let me tell you, driving this huge thirsty wallowing drunken rhino of a truck on the twisty curvy mountain roads the morning after a very boisterous after-party with a walloping hangover and a queasy belly sloshing with coffee made for a colorful roadside ejection on the way back to BOI... ugh. Never again. And the $100+ fill-up only added insult to injury.
