Rental cars stroke challenges

Key fob to start with. I rolled it around in my hand trying to figure out how to release the switchblade key. To no avail, there seems to be no key whatsoever. Finally realized that you just step on the brake and push the button called start.

I spent two weeks in Tampa writing technical documentation for a computer operator that gave two weeks notice. 

The first week I got a Chrysler 300, ok.

The 2nd week I got upgraded, personally I think it was a massive downgrade to a Chevy Tahoe. With the rear tinted windows I felt I couldn't see anything and the beast was huge. Took me forever to figure out the side mirrors after folding them down multiple times. Since the beast was so wide I managed to drive over the raised reflector bumps quite a bit.  When that occurred you got corresponding gooses in your right or left butt cheek. 

Had to sit and read the manual to figure out the gas tank release. The worst was that there were conflicting signs about where the gas port was. On the dash was an icon of a gas pump on the right side of the gas gauge, next to the pump was a small arrow pointing left. I made the incorrect assumption that the gas pump signified the correct side for the gas port.

The flashing yellow light on the side mirrors that signified that a car was approaching that blind spot was absolutely necessary for the beast. I swore I would never drive a car with a backup camera, but with the beast it was completely necessary, and the curved lines showing where the car was headed were needed. Although by the end of the week I just made sure I didn't have to back up.

The Tahoe required a running board to be climbed up on to enter the vehicle. Getting back to my Toyota Matrix was a joy, something small and maneuverable.
