Thanks for the info, Erik. Even more reason to rent from Dollar/Thrifty car rental companies!

...and if you need a car, buy it from Chrysler! It is American-made, conservatively managed and they now give you a Lifetime Powertrain Warranty!

Girlene,

I hate to be the one to tell you that you really can’t rent a car for one dollar.

LOL, lily. Obviously you've never seen me negotiate. And as far as putting fishing poles in a rental car, I'm here to testify (can I get an amen, sister?) that's not a problem.

Lily, you just had to go and burst Girlene’s bubble. You truly are an Evil Older Sister!

This is nothing but public relations BS. Look at the big picture. Dollar/Thrifty recently let several hundred people go, outsourcing many of those jobs to India and the Philipines.

Now they accept an award on how well they treat the reservists. Although this part of the story is true, they don’t give a damn about the reservists or Blake Milam. If it becomes financially expedient, his job could be outsourced as well.

What are our troops fighting for, when they come home and all the jobs belong to India, the Philipines, or illegal immigrants?

Don’t look at a company just by the awards it may receive. Take a look at how they treat the average employee.
