I had the same thing happen to me on a trip to Boston a while back. The car rental agency gave me a Chevy HHR. Not bad looking, but man, what a turd! It couldn't get out of it's own way! I almost wrecked the thing twice because I came into turns at a speed that wouldn't make the crossfire blink and the Chevy had all four tires howling and the front-end under steering badly! I was very happy to get rid of that thing when the trip was over!
