I’m currently planning a week long getaway to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary which is a few months from now. If you’re a long time reader you’ll remember we went to Sedona Arizona for our 35th and the day of? Yours truly came down with an awful case of altitude sickness and spent it in bed.
Alone… and nauseated.
Which is not how one should celebrate a wedding anniversary.
I’m staying closer to sea level this time around and hopefully won’t feel like barfing all day. That definitely kills the mood.
Anyway…
I booked our resort, I booked our airfare and just settled down to do some price comparison on rental cars. Trust me, this is a necessary evil as the same vehicle can vary greatly in cost from company to company.
I’ve always found Hertz and Avis to be the most reasonable. Budget? Not hardly, they were $400 more per week!
As I was scrolling down for the premium/elite/luxury SUV we usually rent I came across this;

Can you see it?

A mystery car.
WTH?
And if it’s a mystery how do they know to charge $668?
That’s the stupidest thing I’ve seen in a long time.

River's world..... 
Yeah, I see that option often when I book a rental car. I’m not much of a risk taker, so I always pass up the “opportunity” for a surprise.
Oooh, you’re keeping us in suspense. I can’t stand it! Reveal! Reveal!

Nope. You’ll have to wait.
It’s nowhere overly exciting as we could only do a week, but it’s an area I’ve always wanted to explore.

Well, I have a surprise in store for you, too, but if I give even one tiny hint about it, you’ll surely guess it, so I’m keeping schtum. 🙂

I like to know what I’m going to be driving. But often, what you rent is certain but what you get remains a mystery. I hope everything goes well for this trip. Get something with big clean windows so you can snap photos as hubs speeds through the sights. Apologies if I’m misremembering here.

Yes, that’s usually the plan. Lots of places tend to blur when he’s driving…

I agree, that is pretty stupid. But I can bet you there is at least one person who’s already booked that car, lmao.

Maybe Scoob and the gang come with it. Better get some Scooby snacks before the trip.

From what I’ve heard it doesn’t matter which car you schedule, you’ll get what you get when you show up at the counter. Happy Anniversary!

We’ve been lucky in usually getting what we reserve. The last time we didn’t? They upgraded us…

I’ve had great luck with Dollar. If you get altitude sickness in Sedona don’t go to Tahoe!

It was the first time this flatlander had spent extended time in altitude and I did everything wrong. I know better now….

Perhaps the mystery is that they won’t know what it is till it’s stolen.

Mystery grab bag of 45 RPM records for $2.99? Great idea. Mystery rental car for $668? You’d have to be out of your freakin’ mind.

I’d say the chances of you nabbing a Mercedes are pretty slim.

Def, the Mystery Machine! Fred will want to drive, Daphne will sleep the whole way, Velma will tell you how to get there efficiently, and Shaggy and Scoob will make a mess in the back seat with the Scooby snacks.

It’s electric. The true mystery is how far you get before needing to recharge. Or whether there’ll be a charging facility when you need it.
