Excuse me for not being as diligent as you, but I'll bet more people are like me than you. You must check your car fluids and tire pressure each time before you drive, as what's taught in driver's ed. In inclement weather, you must be the one checking the washer fluid and wiper blades before jumping in the car, because God forbid they fail on you when you need them most. >> Don't blame the rental vehicle for your personal operational failures.
