A poor rental car choice garners embarrassing comments.

As I approached the counter at Enterprise rental car, I knew I had a Chevy Cobalt reserved for me and a low price. (One of the perks of an Orbitz business account.) My fellow staff member, Dave Young, began to swindle the prepubescent counter worker to give us something nicer. Well after some sweet talk, we were confirmed for a much nicer car, a Lincoln MKX. I didn't feel like paying the extra money on it, so I turned it down and we were off in our four-banger muscle machine.

Each day brought comments from Mopar fans, all of them yelling the same thing: "Get that Chevy out of here!"

There's not much you can say or do when this happens. Next time I will try and secure a Charger or Magnum!
