Default Car Rental

Whenever we get to Florida, the car rental companies are often overbooked.
At the Dollar Rent A Car counter, our prearranged Intermediate Sized Car was unavailable, due to the Xmas Rush.

They offered us this dinky Fiat two seater, and compensation of a $100 voucher.

The trunk space is much smaller, and this will curtail some of our shopping mall purchases.
With the weak Canadian dollar, this is a helpful form of budgetary constraint!

That's much nicer than your 918 Spyder Joe.

Yesterday, the owner of the Ferrari, about my age, though boasting a far greater avoirdupoir, struggled getting out of his car.
Frustrated and flailing to extricate himself, he was actually lodged in place for a moment! Embarrassed, I averted my gaze, while the conversation continued.
He mentioned that he has owned the car for close to a year, though it is not his daily driver. Needless to say, he does not frequent Homestead nor West Palm Beach.
"Current valuations are too high," he noted.

The La Ferrari is a masterpiece of industrial design, exquisitely crafted.

The recent Chris Harris triple review, prefers the Ferrari to the Porsche, while the McLaren is the fastest!

Shut off phone
Close the door
Pour alcoholic beverage
Wear headphones

ENJOY!

Ha beat me to it, I feel bad for that seat.. Now to be fair the i8 has a very high sill (think 80s corvette) and you need to slide/in and out..

The color of that LaFerrari is very nice. A throwback to the "Rosso corsa" of old.
