One of the advantages of being a regular rental customer appears to be that one gets a rather large compact vehicle.

I don’t usually rent compacts, as they are not quite comfortable enough for the seven-plus hours driving involved in getting to and from the diocesan office in Kansas City (around 340 miles return trip).

I’m only going to Carthage and on to Joplin this weekend so I thought a $9 per day compact would suit the bill, and be good stewardship too. The vehicle above is what they gave me. It’s not always like this though. Sometimes I get really small ugly cars too, like this Kia.
