My company has a deal with Enterprise. It's pretty damn good.

My son's old company had a deal with them too, it was better, and I could use it.  But prices seem way up even so.  (They included collision in the deal.)

I like Enterprise overall.

Knoxville to asheville... huh.. funny tale: 

a buddy of mine with far too much disposable income has a fascination with the vw group of cars... he just got rid of an audi A8 and is picking up a brand new one this week..... or maybe it's just new to him... either way.. he went through a spell of the golfr's for a bit.  he had two- one a year prior to the other, and both of them were heavily modified.. one was around 600hp which was NUTS in that roller skate of a car, and the newer one was just under 500 iirc... the newer one had lane assist... the older one didn't. 

he drives from coastal nc to Mississippi twice a year for an exercise where he runs a portion of it and is support on the rest.  it's a MARSOC thing.  

he called me as he knows i keep strange hours to stay awake on that trip.. he called after clearing that section of highway one night... he was driving the vw with lane assist.  he said "the car is trying to kill me".  

he was trying to run that section of twists and turns at break neck speeds- late entry, early apex, all of that jazz... and three digits on the speedo- and the car was fighting him the entire time... the kinda funny part was he thought he could anticipate what it was going to do so he would compensate- and then it (the freaking car) would decide to do something else or refrain from doing what it was doing prior... he said he ended up slowing to around 50mph just so he could control the thing... he knows how to drive there is no doubt- but he dang sure didn't know how to drive a car that tries to drive itself. 

he got rid of that car as soon as he got back home.  

i've ridden the tail of the dragon with him in a golf r, and it is fun to say the least... he wouldn't let me drive it, though.  i'll say this- he left me as if i was sitting still in that thing in deals gap when i was trying to give chase on an ST1300... that bike isn't known for being fast, but it should have been able to hold up with a car...  it wasn't.   

Usually, you can turn off thhe nannies that try and control the car.

that car was so new the programming hadn't been hacked yet.  the engine control was a carry-over with such things as pulse width and timing, allowing addition of massive turbo's to be dialed in, but the drivetrain had it's own control box... that hadn't been cracked yet.. the older one had it too, but it was turned off via tune.  

By turning them off, I don't mean hacking them, I mean choosing a setting.  My GTI has the lane control thing but I turn it off.  And as one goes through various settings like ECON COMFORT NORMAL SPORT TRACK, one is gradually shutting off the nannies.  Some cars have a TRACK 2 setting which kills everything.

Yep, I had heard that last summer. 

Adding Utah doesn't make much sense.
