    Somewhat. At least had some good sense at one point. :)
    When I got my rental I had requested a VW Jetta. It claimed to get good mileage and a little larger than some death trap on wheels.
    When I got to the Enterprise place the guy said it was in the shop for something and would give me a Nissan instead, which was a little larger. Then found that car was getting an old change.
    He then said a Chevy Cruse was ready to go so got a larger car for the
    same cost. (Enterprise is good at bumping one up to a better car if the one wanted is unavailable for the price of the lesser one).
    Being a die hard Ford/Mopar guy, while he was doing the paper work I said
    "I just hope none of my friends see me driving a Chevy" which got a laugh.
    While not a Government Motors fan (though I do like Buick's) I was sold
    on that car in an instant. A great car and if I were to buy a new car it
    would be one of those, which they are going to stop making, of course.

    So, I'm not ALL bad...but I'm working on it. <BG>

    So many of the classics are long gone. My late Mom and Dad drove a
    DeSoto for years.
