Well, the day before the only option was a large passenger van. Not like a family fan but a commercial van. So instead I made them drive me around all day for free.
But yeah, all they had was a Yaris. I meant to call them today to see if anything else had become available. Probably will try that tomorrow.

Well, it makes me feel like I was super spoiled with my Focus ZTS, which was a 16k car 10 years ago - we're not talking about a car level that's supposed to make any other car feel like a little broken bitch.
1) And it is fairly windy here but no snow/ice, but when the car gets gusted it feels like it felt Monday when I lost control out of nowhere of the car and then my life flashed before my eyes.
2) The speedometer is in the middle of the car, so if I'm going around 60mph I can't really tell how fast I'm going very easily without turning and staring at it.
3) Forget push to start, I have to manually lock the bitch.
4) No seek on the am/fm. There is a CD changer but I was pretty surprised it was there. The power button for the radio is about as far away from the driver as humanly possible to put it and not get customers taking a dump in front of your house every day.
5) Let's see....oh, it won't stop fogging up. Maybe I don't get the defrost settings but I have to blast the damn fan on 4/4 (no 6 step system here my browegian friends) and it *still* has been fogging up slowly.
6) And the seat doesn't go far enough back and steering wheel doing go far enough up. At the max height and seat back as far as it will go, my knees won't hit the wheel...barely. I'm 6 feet tall on a good day.
I can probably remember some more things but this is just off the top of my head after driving it for 2 days for maybe an hour total drive time.
However, I haven't died and it's still in one piece, so I mean, that's thrilling imo.

Get home and email someone and they say "sorry man that bar A was packed so we went to bar B. No one had your number." All anyone woulda had to have done was open up their laptop, check their email (offline) and see like 100 emails from me where I list my cell in the subject line cuz I'm out of the office that day.
Fair to be a bit perturbed by this?
Counterpoint: I coulda done the same thing I guess.
Probably too many slurping noises after that meeting where they all brown nosed the boss. No brown noser likes being shown up by an alpha, bro.
