    I wonder if they could fit a ski rack and some studless snow tires? That would make it harder to choose an RS4 for my trip to Ischgll after I sell my spleen.

    @Pessimippopotamus: Pepsi Challenge? I'll meet you at Finnegan's Wake, on Gloucester Rd in London. They have a great Jimmy Buffet cover band on Thursday nights.

    Ah, must be nice to able to rent a car without being slapped with the "under 25 automatic irresponsibility fee" that punishes you for not being born earlier.

    Sweet, so now you can be worked into even more rage when you reserve something, show up only 20 minutes later, and they don't have it. Ditto layabout--the iphone is a nice tool, but in practice, it's most frequently a tool for turning otherwise well-adjusted individuals into catatonic morons.

    "Also, for some reason, it shows that Detroit Metro airport has no cars to rent. Ever. Somehow we don't think Detroit's such a tourist and business attraction that they've completely sold out."

    They have all been flogged to morans in the recent cash for clunkers scheme. Or have been euthanized.

    Rental cars in Yurp are in short supply, because no one's making new cars because of the carpocalypso. Literally like trying to find hens teeth. Prices for rentals are through the roof, doubling in some places. This iPhone app will make those rentals into true rara avis.

    That wears off in about 6 months for most people. It is a pretty amazing device, though...slaying my old Treo Bilestoad-style. It's not a killer app, it's a killer platform.

    Though it kinda sucks as a phone.
