I wouldn't argue that point, but...the purpose of such a voucher is to
help the U.S. auto industry. You don't help the industry by buying
goods whose most expensive pieces and parts are made overseas.
GM and Chrysler need to go bankrupt. Their management needs to change
and their union contracts need to be voided. The skill in putting pieces
of a car together does not warrant the money that the union workers
receive. And, getting paid 95% for sitting around reading a newspaper
all day long is ridiculous. Whomever agreed to that on both sides of the
table should be take out back and shot.
I rent different cars on business trips. Since I am usually traveling
on some union's business, I rent "American cars" built by the Big
Three. I try to alternate, but I've sort of kicked GM off the list
entirely. I've been disappointed by something substantial on each GM
car I've rented over the years. The Fords have been fine, and so have
the few Chrysler products that have been readily available at my
destination.
When I travel on business I always rent a Chevy Impala. The reason is
that I fit in the car. I have a long torso and I know that I will fit.
There is no other reason that I choose this vehicle.
I rented a nice Ford Exploder on my last trip to Boston a month or so
ago. There was nothing about the car I didn't like, and it only cost
me $38 a night (holy schitt!) to park it in the hotel's garage.
You should have checked with the hotel before renting. It would have
been cheaper to catch a cab from the airport and to and from your
appointments.
I went to seven different construction sites and another hotel over two
days. No time to wait for cabs, and I had a movie cameraman and soundman
and their gear to lug around, too. But had I been going to meetings at
offices around the downtown hotel, I wouldn't have rented a car. It
certainly is cheap to cab in from Logan to downtown.
