 The Car You Wish You Never Bought

I've never owned a car or truck I regretted buying or owning.

I have, however, been stuck with some pretty pathetic excuses for cars as rentals, usually becuase my reservation got screwed up, or they over-booked.

Two stand out in particular.

One was the aforementioned K-car. After driving it for 2 days I came to the conclusion that passing gear was NOT in the TX, it was in the stereo, it only made more noise, not more speed.

The other was a Chevette, 4 cyl. auto. with A/C, thought I was going to die getting onto the Interstate. A/C off, foot to the floor, and I ran out of merge lane (on a downhill on-ramp), looked down and I was only doing 52 mph!!! Took it back to Dollar and told the clerk to either give me another car, or get in it and we'd go for a little cruise on the Interstate. I left in a Cadillac in about 2 minutes.

Best of luck.

 The Car You Wish You Never Bought

My staff got into a heated debate about the "best off-road vehicle" at the company picnic one year.


I ended the discussion when they asked my opinion. "Simple," I said "rental cars.".

The conversation ended right there in a big roar of laughter........

Best of luck.
