The lady at Enterprise Car Hire in Miami must have looked at me and thought “right, this fat bastard will never fit in a regular car.”……………actually………..I forgot……….this is Miami …………. so the lady at Enterprise Car Hire looked at me and thought “Claro…..esta grande bastardo nader fito ino el pockito auto.”
And so she gave me something called a Ford Flex.
For those of you who have no idea about this car…….let’s just say it’s the size of the old Mardi Gras and holds nearly as many passengers. Because this is a car that can accommodate seven people and their luggage and some dogs, even if the dogs in question have just won the Biggest Dogs in the World competition. It would also fit all the shopping a family of 24 could conceivably need for to survive the fall out of nuclear war. I can’t possibly describe how ugly it is except to say…………………. it is the Norwegian Epic of I-95.
