Thumbs down Enterprise Hurt Me Bad, real bad. ~Photoshop Request~

So Enterprise has hooked me up with the ugliest thing I have ever seen. I need someone to put me in a Ferrari or a Lamborghini or something...

But for real, this is the story...
I meet the Enterprise woman and we are walking around the building and towards the car. I don't see it yet...
She tells me it's a PT Cruiser; the first thing I do is say, "You gotta be kidding." Seriously, I said that...
She goes on to say, as we're rounding the corner of the building, "You're going to love this then; it's yellow."
I bout $hit myself. Not only do I not like the mini hearse, but this one is bright yellow. The whole way home I was paranoid that someone was going to see me and laugh.
Now I get the pleasure of driving this to work the next several days, where everyone I work with will see me in it. I'm not going to enjoy the ridicule the next few day.
I get my baby back on Friday though! I miss her already...

Oh, and my girlfrield has been extremely humored by this. She absolutly had to have pictures of me with it.

You should put a Dominos sign on the top. Seriously though, did you even ask the lady if you could get a different car? I've done that before.

It happened to me too, except mine was like a cream white. It was so :ghey:. I complained and asked how the PT Loser was equivalent to an Acura TL (I was having work done on my car after someone hit me so her insurance was paying and it was supposed to be an equivalent.) Well, a couple days later I got an 08 Grand Prix...still didn't really like it but it was 10x better than a PT Loser. Sorry bro

Unfortunately, I think their ratings of "equivalence" are just based on size, not on level of luxury.

WOW, that's bad. When my fathers 03 TL needed the tranny replaced they gave us an 03 Sonata with leather and a V6. It wasn't bad for a rental.

I didn't ask, no. I figure I only have it a few days. It isn't worth the hassle.

The only reason I'm smiling is because the neighbor was laughing and then my GF was cracking up. Which was funny. On Saturday when I get my baby back, the whole thing will be pretty funny!

I thought you were saying that you need the lady's insurance company to put you in a Ferrari or Lambo.

Nice, Look good in front of that.

So I had plenty of time to be in this thing on my 45 minute commute to work this morning.

I have to rant a little bit...
I miss the volume controls on the steering wheel
The climate controls are just annoying
I don't like how it has an analog clock instead of digital
The window controls are in the center of the dash under the clock
Single CD changer
No adjusting rearview mirror
The horn honks when the alarm is armed

but it has...
An Aux input on the radio
A built in compass

At least you only see it in a few days, my neighborhood just trade his V8 4Runner for a PT cruiser (for mpg purpose). Now every time I drive off my garage to go to work, I have to see that piece of urgly park on his drive way every morning.

Wow, when I posted the thread I should have expected that. Very creative!

Haha im glad you like it! Cheer up, it could be alot worse! Imagine maybe a 1998 Dodge Neon instead of your clean new-ish banana yellow (or pink) PT Cruiser.


I say get your revenge on those rental bastards and rip the shit out of the crappy little 4 banger, do some burnouts with handbrake on, maybe some FWD donuts in a parking lot. Enjoy it, I for one love driving cars that arent my own cuz then I feel like I can really let them have it without suffering like do with my TL.

You're assuming that thing can do burnouts and donuts?
