Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Enterprise has free pick-up/drop off service, and you can generally get an economy or compact car for less than $40 a day.
Edited to replace the name of the fucktard-filled rental company that's about as trustworthy as their real-killer golf course sleuthing former spokesman with a company that will actually be helpful.
Ouch sara. Psychics, maybe, and people who can read the future are totally on top of car repair stuff. At least, that's what I tell myself. Don't sweat it, though. Some shit is just...well, sometimes you just have to spend the money.
sarameg - please be nice to my friend. You didn't break your car on purpose - it was a result of the snow, which, you aren't responsible for. It totally sucks having to spend money on car repairs and other un-fun shit, I know. Buy yourself a nice nummy treat.
Well, it was from me riding the damned clutch when I know better than to do that. That's what is making me cranky. I was just so focused on getting unstuck that I let that slide. Stupid clutch is only 5 years old. At least the death of that one wasn't my fault. I'm ok with (well, resigned to ) things just falling apart because they have a finite life, but ...Rrrg. This is $500 of stupid.
Yeah, no.
I'm shocked! Just shocked! The linker of things best left unlinked!
Since you have AAA, make sure you ask if you can a discounted rate on a rental. But what Matt said; you should be able to get a car for a few days pretty cheap ($40/day actually sounds high to me for around here, but it's been a while.)
Last winter, after we totaled our car, I think we got a car from enterprise for 29 bucks a day.
If you have a way to get to the airport, I've gotten good deals off Hotwire. But at least here, they're only at the airport... Edit: Nevermind, for this weekend in Balto, they only have "Premium" cars at $40/day anyway.
I am incredibly tired. This week at work has been mad draining. But yet, I need to neaten the house before my parents get here.
{{sarameg}} Sometimes clutches are just crap. I had one car that lost 2 of them. The mechanic started with a "ever drive a standard, lady" attitude, then changed his tune and bitched up a storm about what a shit clutch it was.
I hear that Paris Hilton is having her birthday bash this weekend in Vegas.
There is some NBA/Celeb type thing in Vegas that is on my tv at the moment. The boys tried to get me to look at CarrotTop playing basketball. I refused. Dude that plays Turk is playing too.
eta: What Jesse said about airport rentals. I've always found them the best deal.
Yeah, I'm getting anything from $18-30 base quoted online from the places nearby (and I've got rental coverage on my credit card, so I can waive a lot of the add ons.) I'm gonna try the locally owned one first because they claim to do free acquisition/de-acquisition service and that would be such a relief.
