Cracked windshields are so common that insurance companies won't cover them up here. My first weekend renting a car I balked at the cracked windshield on the Ford Escort. I was offered a Ford Focus instead, and every weekend I've been given the same model in different colours. One had a cigarette burn in the driver's seat, another had a loose gear shift, all reek of smoke.
I had to call Roy at the auto rental place when one car wouldn't start. Then I got demoted from power windows to wind-up. Turns out I'm dealing with Rent-a-Relic. The sign at the place says Roy's Auto but my receipts indicate otherwise.
This weekend I was given the Escort again. So, I'm driving around in a smelly car with two cracks in the windshield.
Passed up the chance to go to the 19th Annual Pontoon Lake Medieval Summer Solstice Pig Roast tonight. Given that I have neither a costume, coat of arms, or codpiece, I figured I wouldn't be into the spirit of this party. Too bad, because I was looking forward to the women's frying pan toss.
