Big man in a little car - Fiat 500 Rental
Just wanted to share this. Here's the "premium" rental car the rental place tried to give my boss and I in Minneapolis. Note he is 6' 9" and was crammed in so tight he couldn't get his feet on the pedals. The lot guy and I couldn't stop laughing. They gave us a SUV instead.

I can't believe they even considered that. someone with a 6'9" frame - you know it's not going to happen.

A Fiat 500 is designated a "premium" rental??!

Every "premium" rental I've ever gotten was either a mid-size or large car (Mercury Grand Marquis, Volvo S80, Ford Taurus...) with leather interior, etc.

The average Italian man is about 1" shorter than the average American. Mermon is being Mermon.

In the rental car's defense, your boss would have a hard time fitting in almost any car
