Okay, things could have been worse, but we were pretty miserable. Since we were going to be doing a lot of driving (all around Missouri to Chicago and back to Missouri) we decided to upgrade our vehichle. We chose to upgrade to a Sebring convertible. The funny thing was a few months earlier James wanted a new Sebring convertible because he saw an advertisement for it's heated coffee mug holder.
Well, we were only 1 day into the trip, it was raining in St. Louis and the convertible top would not come up. This was a frustrating morning because 1) the valet guy was supposed to put the top up the night before (and I normally would self park) 2) I was actually running early for my meeting (I still made it on time). Well, luckily, there was an Enterprise located in the hotel, but they only had ONE car that they could trade out - a Nissan Versa. I am telling you it was awful. Check it out: http://www.nissanusa.com/versa/. My aunt laughed at the car when we pulled up to their house. By this time, we had already spent almost 10 hours in the car and were ready to throw it (I think James really could pick it up). The only time that we were appreciative of the junky little car was when we got to Chicago area and gas was $3.69, at least we were saving on gas.
Needless to say, when we left, I was happy to turn in the Nissan Versa. When the girl asked how everything was, I told her that our convertible was switched to a Versa. She said, "Ohhh, I'm sorry." But, it was really with sympathy.
