rental car, but nicer

threeplusfireToday I spent two hours at the dealership, hanging out in their clubby fake leather chairs reading Details magazine and drinking mediocre coffee. To be fair, that's probably better than being at work. The people working at the dealership are extremely nice, which makes it easier. Everyone seems fascinated to figure out what is going on with my car. The new theory is bad wires. They were still poking through it's metal intestines when I left.
Looking forlorn and being polite will make people help you. They got me a rental car very quickly this time around, and they upgraded it to something much nicer than that Kia. I'm driving a Saturn VUE, genuine suburban war machine. Well, for an SUV it has crazy good gas mileage and is very easy to drive. I actually like it and don't feel freaked out the way I have driving Ford Explorers or Jeeps in the past. At least with it being a Saturn, I know how the buttons are supposed to work.
So I drove back to the office with the window down. It was 58 degrees outside, and I was glad to be wearing a tank top for the brilliant sunny afternoon.
