Sure...but could you form a coherent sentence?
I could understand sentences but speaking was more sketchy. |

In addition, the cars are getting older and older and it is no longer unusual to get one with more than 30,000 on the clock.

Last two rental cars I had - Mazda CX-7 and a Mercury Mountaineer both had 32,XXX miles on the odometer.:td: They were a bit rough looking.
I am getting Mitsubishi or Toyota frequently now with Avis. |

Avis is currently on my sh*tlist because no matter whether you fill the tank or not, there is always an extra $10.50 on your bill which requires you to make an issue of it with the agent, stop at the office, or call them when you get where you are going in order to get it removed. Sometimes none of those methods are effective and the $10.50 lives thru to your credit card bill. :td:

My last 5 rentals with National have been Nissan Altimas (now considered a full size :rolleyes:) - all with less than 10k miles. I can't complain too much about that.
In other news, piecing together a good 8+ segment mileage run on UA is a lot harder than I expected. :( |
My last rental had 3 miles on the odometer (2010 Toyota Corolla S) from Hertz - a 5* perk, apparently. The rental before that was a Chrysler Town and Country minivan with over 40,000 miles (thanks to Dollar / Thrifty).

The Altima has long been considered full size, and it's definitely not a small car. I don't mind it at all.

Agreed! The timing of us walking around that corner was perfect!
And, for those voicing a concern in COFlyerCLE's turning down a drinking opportunity - I did witness him enjoying a beer between FRA and EWR. :)

This weekend, Hartmann and I sealed our fate as lifetime aerogeeks - we took a tour of Frankfurt Airport. :D
It was actually pretty cool - they take you out on to the tarmac (in a bus) and show you all around T1, T2 and the cargo areas. I'll post pictures (complete with glare from the bus windows :rolleyes:) in a few.

I'm very content with my family being between 180 and 2000 miles away. Very little drama to deal with.^

So am I - now that I've found FT, I can usually arrange a stopover during a MR every time I have to (or want to) visit them.

I just had to tell my first flat-out travel-related lie...asked if I was free the evening of 5/16 for a party, and just couldn't say "hey, thanks so much for the invitation, but I'm flying to Germany and back that weekend so I don't think I can make it!" And I'm SURE I wasn't as convincing/genuine as I ought to have been, so it must have sounded suspicious. :( I mean, it's one thing not to volunteer information about what I'm doing on a given weekend to my family/co-workers/etc, but this was different...ugh. Did any of you have to deal with such ethical dilemmas when you first crossed over into the realm of travel insanity?

Tons of fun...

I can't as it is right before the Star Alliance DO. Two trips to FRA in a week would be a bit much. The people around me have to come to expect such irrational behavior. Like ALCO I always get asked where I've been and when people call me, the first question is "Where are you?". Give it time, you'll get used to it. I had a good evening tonight. 4 hours at the wine bar although i only had 2 glasses of wine. may have to go back later in the week for round two! |

I definitely don't mind it either. However, I don't think it should be considered a full size car - especially when National also (occasionally) has Maximas.
