I wonder, what will I get? Price was the same as the least expensive car offered.

It's like Wheel of Fish.

I'm going to say GMC Terrain "or equivalent."

I'd be fine with that. It's really just me, a small suitcase and a camera bag.

Let's spin the wheel!

I love that movie.

True story: Only one theater on Long Island showed it, so we (me, my brother and our friend Dan) drove across the island so we could see it opening night.

Changed our lives.

In reply to David S. Wallens:

I did not see it opening night but I've seen it more times than is probably healthy. My wife shares our taste in movies. That's one way to know it's meant to be.

Basically, what you'll end up with is a class of vehicle that isn't often booked. Business people rent sedans, and families rent seven-seaters, or sedans. Therefore, you will probably end up with either a five seat crossover, a full-size van, or a subcompact. It's end of summer, so that means Mustangs and such aren't too likely to be booked, but you may end up with an Ecoboost.

My wife also digs it. That's how I knew, too.

And just to take this totally off topic, ever watch Al TV? (Al TV was when Weird Al took over MTV; this was back when MTV showed music videos.) My brother and I recorded them and can still quote them.

Anyway, this is a high point.

Red snapper, very tasty!

Working in seafood I use that line often. Not once in 8 years has anyone gotten it.

Murano Convertible from their Pretige Collection.

Best I ever did on the manager's special was a G37 sedan.

I did it a few weeks ago. Got a RED Ford Focus Hatchback. Hated it.

Well, DSW ain't getting a Rondo unless he's coming to Canada, and I'm pretty sure he isn't because we haven't had a lot of "pack your parka" jokes. That also means he won't get to experience the insanely comfortable seats or the air-conditioned glove box. Cold bottle of water in August FTW!

We got a brand new (38 miles) Taurus for an $8 upgrade over the clearly battle scarred Fiesta they had us booked. It was nice being at the very top of the seat fart list.

PSA: Speaking of Hertz, anyone who has AAA can sign up to Hertz Gold for free. The nice thing about that is when you fly into somewhere, your car is waiting for you and you just have to check a computer board to see which stall to go pick it up. No waiting in line at the counter for 30 minutes.

Versa. Things travel in herds around here in rental fleets.

Also, does the winner get to drink from the fire hose?

Did the manager's special with thrifty when traveling to Savanah and beaufort with the family.

Got a fully loaded f-150 ecoboost 4wd with leather, xm radio, cooled seats, did 20mpg and paid $89 for the week.

Have gotten good deals before but not a great vehicle too.

Good luck.

If you need a coupon to Dallas Shoe Warehouse, my wife gets them all the time, DSW.

We had to wait for a friend's father to find us a bootleg copy. It played in at least one theater in the hood and was recorded by someone having a seizure.

I tried to find it online to show my nephew the last time he stayed over but couldn't. The poor kid was somehow unfamiliar with Weird Al. I was temptation call CPS and report his parents.
