What happens if I rush a sorority while I'm on the road? Unprofessional?

Overly flirty car rental representative = no thanks.

Super little Fiat w/ a sunroof and free Sirius I ended up with as a result = YES PLEASE.

Best part: Mr. Business Man next to me who got the only other remaining compact car ....a sad, sad little Chevy that certainly wasn't equipped to blast the 90s on 9 all the way to Ann Arbor. SORRY, SIR. Forget the tie and shiny shoes - you too should have dressed in your finest flip flops and sweatpants to impress the rental agent.

Also, Ann Arbor.... you surprise me! Concerningly cute and hip. I do not trust you yet. Perhaps it is because I do not actually trust any college town with more students in it than there are residents in my home town. Too much party in one place. I'm pretty sure one of those frat houses can hold more people than I've lived with over the last three years.... and that's saying something.

Lotto update: no dice in Michigan. Illinois is still the reigning champ as Luckiest State. Good for you, Land of Lincoln. At least you've gotten something going for you.

..... PS, sorry, Illinois. I'm just kidding. We're cool. Missouri, you're ok too (mostly because of your delicious custard and comically large arch).
