Back in the USA
After not reaching Michelle i booked a rental a day before the flight. the trick is to book the cheapest (well here i did spend 2€ more for a 4 door car) and usually you get a much better car in the us.
So my 143 € got me this nice cruiser, 3.8 V6 engine, very nice stereo and a quit good ride. mind you – this is for a week, fully insured and with free milage!
