Cars – Rentals Can Be Fun

I love renting cars. Especially ones that are fun and you’ll probably never own.

You probably read about the Volvo C70 hard top convertible in a previous post. Well, due to timing and circumstances, we had to rent a day car before cashing in Becca’s card points for our Indian Wells car.

It was a Nissan Juke. Neat little car! Some may say “ugly as sin” or goofy, but FUN to drive! It also is a turbo and has a 6 speed auto stick! Becca found that by accident when picking it up. When the RPMs get stuck at 5000 and won’t change, something is awry.

For those who are unfamiliar, it is basically an automatic with the option to manually shift up or down without the hassle of a clutch… shifting with training wheels. I had lots of fun… and never came out of shift mode. And the turbo… yup, it got out of the way.

Becca just rolled her eyes.

Off tomorrow early to return this one for another potential toy!
