Bad news is that I had to go out of town due to an illness in Judy's family this weekend.

Good news is I asked for a full size car and was pleased to come out and find this waiting in the parking spot:



2008 Chevy Impala SS... has some pretty nice pickup and go but I miss the HHR SS. Still not too shabby for a rental at $23/day

 

Wow, now that's not a hard pill to swallow. Think they would mind if you threw some red overlays and a tune on it?

You gonna sign up to Impala forums too?

 

Haha... I was going to visit the Chevy dealer about a Stage 1 kit "loan".

 

OK, so you could rent a 'car' (any car) but you didn't rent the most obvious rental there is? One that is very similar to what you're driving already (an HHR)????
I know, they didn't have any S/S's to rent, right?

 

They did have a couple of HHRs but no SS's unfortunately. I didn't ask for the Impala SS so it was a welcome sight as it could very well have been any full size granny car.

And if I had known ahead, my first choice would have been with Enterprise... they had two Dodge Challengers sitting in their holding pen.

 

Something similar happened to me when I flew into St Louis last year. I had a car reserved, but they ran out of the normal stock when I got in at about 11PM. They gave me a Pontiac G8 GT instead. Great way to test drive a 6.0L.

 

my inlaws have a white '08 Impala SS and I LOVE that car! Just out of my own curiosity, do you guys know if there's another FWD V8 car out there??? Maybe I'm just not thinking of what it would be???
