^ I've been lucky over the years. The only one that comes to mind is once I once reserved an AVIS car for a vacation in Florida , and Avis ran out of cars. They did try harder so we ended up with a "smokers" Accord off their used car lot (smelled REAL bad inside). The Valet at the hotel must have thought we were slobs.
< Years ago I established the Ford land speed record in a rented Turbo Thunderbird on a highway near Toledo. :)
