You would probably expect that a person who normally drives a Saturn wouldn't be too picky about what kind of rental car he was given.

You would generally be right.

But then yesterday, Enterprise gave me a "free upgrade" and I got stuck with a PT Cruiser.

I mean, even I have my limits.

  3. Angela,

    Maybe this will help explain. Last night at church, I was telling a 4th grader about my rental:

    4th Grader: What kind of car did you get?
    Me: A PT Cruiser.
    4th Grader: My grandparents drive a PT Cruiser.
    Me: Ya, so does everyone else's grandparents.

  4. Alex,
    I think it was an upgrade in that it was bigger than my car. At least as close as I can figure.

    But "free upgrade" was just code for "we don't have any other cars right now."

  7. My grandparents used to drive a PT Cruiser too, but they have more class than that.
    Also, I think that a "free upgrade" most likely means "no one else will drive this car, Mr. Dockery." "Have a nice day in cruisin' in the cruiser!"

  8. Ironically, the PT Cruiser didn’t actually have cruise control. It seems like it was poorly named.
