When I went to LA last october I got a sweet Eclipse GT convertable from
Alamo...wanted a dak, but they didn't have any more. It was OK though, the
convertable was awesome when we cruised sunset. I know that this really
doesn't relate to anything, but I felt the need to share my rental car
experiance for some reason.
