Idiot!

 

i didnt think KC had em?

 

I think it was probably a V6.

 

yeah my bad...i saw hertz and 2006 mustang and was ready to schedule a 5 hour trip to KC

 

I travel a lot and most companies leave the keys in them during business hours, especially for regular customers. National has the Emerald Isle, you just walk out to the row of cars on the lot, pick the one you want and drive to the checkout booth. I bet the kid just grabbed one that had the keys in it.

I wish National had more Mustangs. The only Ford I've rented recently was the Ford 500, I usually have to drive a Chevy or Pontiac.
