Rental Cars are Evil

Well, not the cars themselves but the emotions they can evoke. Don't get me wrong, I love my Mazda3 at home; even with 60,000 miles, a dent here, and a ding there. However, I just spent a week driving a new Maxima withonly 3,700 miles on it and still with that new car smell.

All I can think of is how great it was to have the push-button door locks and "Start" button...never had to take the remote out of my pocket! I also loved the feeling of being in a big car and I think to myslef, "Wouldn't it be nice to get a new car?"

But I had to return it. And now I will go home to happily drive my Mazda again. But for a moment, a shiny new rental car caused me to covet something and that's why they're evil.
