Hmmm.. Fords? I would guess that you are renting from Hertz. Try Thrifty
next time! Since the only non-Mopar they have is a Kia Rio if you get the
super compact car, from there they go Neon, Stratus, Intrepid. They also
rent Pt Cruisers, Durangos, Full size Rams, and 300M's - but "Not available
in all markets".
