Rental Woes...

After 900 or so hours working with the insurance company of the guy who hit me, they finally resolved to fix my vehicle and provide a rental car.

I dropped my car off at the collision center and walked to the rental car agency.  47 pages of paperwork later (glad to see this isn't a hassle at all....), they escorted me to the rental car.

"Here you go!" he said, turning to hand me my keys.

I took a slow look hood to tailpipe over the horrifically ugly car and gave the guy a blank stare.

"Sassy!" he said.

"By your description of 'sassy', I'm guessing this isn't the first time you've had to defend the looks of this beast?"

"It's a holiday weekend in one of the most desirable vacation cities in the US."

I glared.

Not only is it a Nissan (ugliest cars ever created) it's a Versa, which rates mere millimeters behind the Juke,... in electric blue...hatchback.  Every time I rev the engine and the sun shines on that sparkly blue paint, I sink a little lower and push my sunglasses a little higher.

I miss my car.

Maybe this is God's way of making you appreciate your car : )

Oh come on Becks! It could have been worse! It could have been a Cube or worse a *cough* "Smart" car... just sayin...

Coy - So true! Zero power!

Cole - Amen sister.

Paul-The - True. Cube would have been worse.

Well, maybe you can just imagine how young people think you are, since the market for those cars is probably 23 and under.....or 75 and above....and you certainly can not be mistaken for the latter category :-).
