I sure hope this works - 5 speed for our rental fleet.

I finally decided to roll the dice and buy a 5 speed manual car for our rental fleet. People call asking for something "good on gas", so I figured this would be something that fits the bill that no one else offers around here. I am hoping we will be able to weed out the people that want to burn out someone else's clutch to learn how to drive standard. A lot of european tourists ask if we have a manual transmission vehicle available, so I figure if we only rent it to people with cool accents we should be ok! Either it will be the best or worst idea I have ever had. I bought a cheapo car just in case it is the latter. Feel free to tell me it was the best idea, I am already having second thoughts!
