OR Buy a new one... At least you wouldn't have to pay the 150 they'll probably charge you to install it.Gravity Waits for No One. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2fat2fly 0 #6 March 27, 2007 I thought that it was like that when I picked it up? I'm down on rental companies right now anyway. Hertz is claiming that I wrecked one of their cars in Memphis a few hours after I returned it.......I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

monkycndo 0 #8 March 27, 2007 Depending on the rental company, they may charge you the rental fee for the days it is out of service while it is being fixed. That can add up.50 donations so far.
