The Bumblemobile

This is the rental card I ended up picking up!
The Bumblemobile?
The Yellow Hornet?

I didn't even think rental cars came in Blinding Yellow. The good thing about it is I am guaranteed to not lose it in any parking lot.

I also think I've never rented a car that was a two door. I don't think I've been in a two door car since my 20's.

It didn't even dawn on me until I tried to put my baggage in the pack seat that something was wrong.

When I picked the car up (in the underground parking lot, i.e. no sun, at the Milwaukee airport) it was a balmy 6 degrees so there was no way I was walking back the 20 feet to the counter to ask for another car. Of course after a few days of driving in the U.P. snow the car isn't exactly yellow at the moment. It's a cross between roadside dirt black and the Dirt We Put Down Instead of Salt brown that is used in the U.P.
