When we arrived at Las Vegas recently, we needed to rent a car. The car needed to be large enough to seat five comfortable. I had reserved one in advance and was quite comfortable with my selection. But the rental agent talked me into upgrading to a larger car. She talked me into a Chrysler 300 because “You need a Hemi when driving in Vegas.”

She went on to explain that drivers in Vegas are rather crazy and you can never tell when you might need to accelerate quickly to maneuver in traffic. Having driven in Vegas on several occasions, I concurred with what she had to say. So, a Hemi it was.

In all honesty, 9 out of 10 of my rental cars have been a Chrysler 300 with a Hemi. They are fun to drive and only a little more expensive than cheapest five passenger model.

I guess the clincher was the GPS system that came with the car. The GPS system might come in handy as I navigate the streets of Las Vegas. But, that is a whole different posting.

With the exception of a leaky tire, the Chrysler 300 performed flawlessly. A nice car and a lot of fun to drive.
