Nothing party's like a rental

So far, Blitzen's ass has cost me $5600.00 plus $250.00 deductible. The damage done to my car when I hit the deer was a little more extensive that what I expected, but I do take solace in the fact that somewhere in Central Ohio, there is a deer running around with the word FORD tattooed across the rear half of his body.

Life has been chaotic since this all happened. I have met several different people with varying degrees of morality in all of this. I have been relatively docile during this entire process allowing myself to be lead around by the hand, but when I was sitting at the dealership, I started to emerge from my shell. The girl behind the counter was nice enough and she was kind enough to get me a rental car and here is where it gets interesting.

Enterprise stepped up and provided a car for me. When the Enterprise guy showed up and asked for me, I numbly followed him out into the rain to see a 2007 Kia Spectra sitting there just idling. I looked around for a second hoping this was not the car I got to drive for the next couple of weeks. It is a good enough car, but this is the exactly same car that my wife drives. I just wanted a different car just to be driving something different. I looked at the car and told the guy, "Ah, I see you brought me an Asian Bentley."

He chuckled slightly at the crack, but I could tell he did not want to be there. It was raining and as he was just trying to do his job, I asked "Can I trade it it?" He replied "For what." Without hesitating, I fired back, "A Ferrari?" He chuckled again, but he was getting colder as the weather and answered my question, "No, we're all out." I am not one to just let something go so I continued, "How about a Porsche, BMW, Audi?" He just shook his head. "Volvo?" I just wanted to keep beating this dead horse.

The walk around ended extremely abruptly. There was nothing else to say. I had pushed him to his limits and he was finished. He showed me where the door was and I signed the paper work and then sat down in the car. Just as I was about to close the door all the way, I had one last jab for the guy, "Nothing party's like a rental." and shut the door. The look on his face almost made the whole ordeal worth while. Yea maybe it was a bit of an asshole thing to do, but I just felt like being an asshole. Freud can go get bent.
