i, consumer.

the gave me a beige ford focus rental with 117 miles on it. This may be the newest car i've ever driven. It's not so bad as the others; it may be my favorite rental car. It feels big, though. High up. Nice, tight brakes, a little slow in the first gear, but not limp-wristed or anything. Oddly big-feeling considering it's still technically a compact car. Though it does have two more doors than the Pontiac pile-of-crap they gave me last time. So when the rent-a-car guy opens the door this waft of new-car-smell comes out. I think it's still on its first tank of gas. Only they took up my entire lunch hour finding me a damn car to drive while they fix the Veedub. So now the new car - which still only has 120 miles on it - instead of having that New Car Smell, it has the desperate reek of Burger King.

because since M is still sick, we're not going to the bar tonight, and that's gotta cut a thousand calories or more out of my weekly total. But i have to say that angus burger that burger king has been advertising - well, it's not as thickly greased as some, and it does have grilled onions, but it comes with way too much flimsy, wilted lettuce and some sort of weird not-really-aromatic-in-the-way-you'd-expect barbecue sauce. So. Focus: yes. Angus burger: no. Yecch.
