It was a solid power-wise (300 horsepower) and seats for 8. <\/p>\n<p>It was a really good car. Trustworthy and valiant. We should have at least changed the oil. Thought, when we checked (in North Dakota, I think), the oil looked great, like brand new.<\/p>\n<p>We gave it back to Alamo today. I&#8217;m a little sad. It was a good car. They said nothing about the bug encrusted front half of the car. Just gave us a receipt for a little under $800. 23 days and 7k miles. (What a great deal!)<\/p>\n<p>And for the record, we told everyone we talked to at Alamo what we intended to do with the car. The checkout person didn&#8217;t care, the car wrangler thought it was awesome and might possibly have saved a Mazda for us (over a Ford Flex or a Jeep Grand Cherokee), the map person was appalled but only at the thought of driving all that way. The checkin was painless. <\/p>\n<p>The last gas up was for 14.1 gallons (probably, no receipt for this one) and 307.8 miles. Better than 20mpg.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll miss George.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/logicalelegance.com\/journey\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/20120515-120736.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/logicalelegance.com\/journey\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/20120515-120736.jpg\" alt=\"20120515-120736.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think I mentioned that we rented the car we drove.
