I got into the POS and started gagging from the smell. It was like somebody had smoked a whole carton with the windows rolled up.

I lowered a window (it was below freezing) and drove it right to the rental place. The manager came out and said he couldn't smell anything. I got pissed and asked him if he was a liar or just fucking stupid. At which point he lit up a cigarette...

I ended up getting all our money back and I've never gone back.
