... I am going to stick with Potomac-Greg from now on. Seems a little more "human."

BTW, my Enterprise Impala is a cigarette-smelling, velour coated, Fisher-Price quality nightmare. I have no doubts now that the car magazines are biting their tongues when they write their review of these old-school American cars. There are big open gaps all over the interior, exposed screw heads on most parts, and those damn light blue LED displays!!! Yet the car mags still seem to declare them to be competitive with the Japanese and European cars. I guess it keeps the advertising money coming in.

I'm going to swap it for something better tomorrow. For now, I look like a civil servant checking building code compliance or some such.

Default Try to get a truck, use it to finish the home jobs you've likely been putting off.

This way you can rationalize the ****ty interior. Afterall, it's a truck. : )

With the price of gas, I'm likin' the Aveo. I'll save enough on gas to pay for the loaner.

Default "Impala-Greg" has a nice ring to it. I rented a Malibu not long ago.

Wasn't as bad as you describe your Impala. Too bad it's not a '63 SS.

If they bought ad space in Car &amp; Driver, I'm sure they would be "vastly improved."
