Default I went to AutoZone looking for a rental and they didn't have it. The local shops like that
are known for pretty much shunning anything that isn't an American car or Honda.

I saw that box-looking thing, but wasn't sure how well it would work.

Default Nice. I'm really getting tired of being shunned by them simple because I own a car that takes
a little more know-how than the average person wants to have to deal with.
