3rd, my other brother got a job at ERAC- God only knows why after he had heard all of the stories. I think he though we were making shit up.
4th, Marry an ERAC employee. That way, when you have friends and family come to your wedding you can get 8 rentals @ 50% off. Shit, I forgot... "you know the deal, we are trying to find your 4 minivans, 3 full size cars, and one ICAR. We have a 2 dr Mercedes, it's only $89.99 with the ins rate"

Then gradually you all quit untill, eventually only your wife remains - You see, that way you get to keep on getting the 50% off. Then if you give the usual line(s); I had to wait, and the car was dirty, and it had no gas, and SMELLED OF ASS. You be walking away with another 20% - 30% off on top of the 50% you already got.

Or you can go to HERTZ ??

If you were really smart, you'd have all put yourselves down as each others' referrals on the employment application. Groups will pay anywhere from $500 - $2000 for an employee referral, since it saves tons on recruitment costs. Stick it out for 90 days and wheel home a nice fat paycheck.
