PT Smakk
Before my little business excursion to Austin yesterday, I stop in at my local Enterprise Rental Car to pick up a rental for the drive. I get checked in with relative ease and the young lady takes me outside to proudly show me my professional business trip car - a bright metallic sky blue PT Cruiser. I can't think of anything that rings more of mid-life crisis. Whatever...I get in the truck..err...car...err shoebox on wheels and take off on my journey.
Somewhere between 20-25 seconds on the road, the oil light warning comes on. At first I'm like, "what do I care if it needs oil? Not my car." But then the nice little "BINGGG" that keeps going off every 3 seconds might get a little annoying for my 6 hour round trip drive. So I turn around and return the car back to Enterprise. The same nice little rental car girl says, "No problem. We just have to drive about a mile down the road to another location and we can get you a new car."
So we go on our 2 minute trip to another Enterprise location down the road. I'm thinking at least I'll be put in a normal little sedan. My girl takes in the keys for the exchange, comes back out and says, "All set. Your new car is right over here."
We walk together around the corner and guess what she has obviously pulled some major strings to do for me - another bright metallic sky blue PT Cruiser. So I go, "Wow. Identical to the other one."
She replies merrily with a huge smile, "Yes sir. And the color even matches your shirt."
Just fucking shoot me....
