A friend of mine from the west coast came to visit me last week. He
flew in and rented a car from Budget. His rental was a PT Cruiser.
This was a special promotion, no change in rental rate from standard
size car. I wonder what the resale market will do when Budget dumps
their rental units in 6-9 months?

Bryan..good for you. I've wanted one since I first saw a picture. I
was on
a mailing list before they came out and got paint chips, a 1/32 model,
and
other stuff in the mail monthly, until it became apparent I wasn't
sending a
deposit check.
I keep hearing 6 month waiting period, but the dealer just west of San
Antonio has a dozen or more lined up on the front row of his lot. I
wonder
if this shortage might be more of a marketing ploy.
Anyway, I'm jealous...enjoy the ride.
