/cry, they stole my Fiesta

So I have been wondering when the oil gets changed on a long term rental and I unfortunately got the answer this past week.  Someone from the office area tracked me down in the lab area and said I needed to call Sixt (the car rental company).  When I called them, they said they needed to swap cars so we set up a parking lot meeting just before lunch.  After a little confusion, I found the Sixt man and saw the new vehicle.  I'm not sure I want to call it a car, it's more like an egg.  It's very egg shaped...and orange...and not classy orange, like my Gator pants orange

It's burnt orange, like Texas orange.



Don't get me wrong, it's not a terrible car and it's still free...but it's not fun to drive like the Fiesta was...and it's not a Ford.  We had a couple of Fords growing up (I remember a bright blue Explorer, a forest green Taurus wagon, and there may have been one more) and the first car I bought with my own money (a car not from my parents) was a Ford Expedition (I bought it because I hate the environment and I needed a large vehicle for driving the UF hockey team on long road trips...it seats 8 you know).

Ohh well, it's not a terrible car...it's just not as fun...maybe they'll come swap it out for another one before I leave.
