Location: DEN
Status: Preferred
Rented: Intermediate
Received: Hummer H3

I arrived at the DEN Avis location and my name was on the board telling me to come into the counter. When I got in there I was informed that they just didn't have any cars. The agent type-type-types around and is like, "Um, ma'am... would you feel uncomfortable driving a Hummer?" I was like, "no, not at all!" In fact, I'll confess to you that I was pretty excited to cruise around in a big-a** truck for a weekend. The counter agent had to hike out to the back forty to get it ("we just don't have many cars" he said), and pulled it up for me. I drove off pretty giddily.

Then I realized that the truck *bleeds* gas. With gas at $4, no wonder the Hummer was still available.

So I guess it was really cool to get an upgrade to a specialty vehicle (never had that before), but after a day and a half, I was only too happy to turn it in and let the panicky feeling of watching the gas gauge go.
