First American car that didn't suck
So I got back from my latest business trip to Silly Con Valley the other day. For once the car I got from Hertz didn't suck chodes.
Most rental cars (most American cars!) have large engines, but are considerably underpowered. The suspension is like a drunk Elephant walking on marshmallows. Or, alternatively, it feels like you're in a boat rather than on wheels.
Anyway, this time I got something called an Impala. I think it was a Chevrolet, but am not sure.
My reaction? Well, I could actually feel the road which was good. And it had a bit of poke in it. Not as much as I'm used to with my own car, but certainly a lot better than most of the junk I've driven over there.
Just thought I'd share the experience with you, as I once posted saying all American cars sucked (which of course isn't true, but was fun to argue about!).
