Our rental car for the week. It's not a joke, it's a Kia! Seriously, I'm only 5'9" and when I drove this the drivers seat back was almost touching the front of the back seat. And I got my first experiece driving on the left hand side of the road. Kind of freaky at first, especially needing to remember to look right first instead of left first when you come to an intersection. But I think I did a pretty fair job of it. Thank God the steering wheel was U.S. standard and on the left of the car, otherwise it would have been a little TOO freaky. We did have one heart pounding scare with this thing. On our first trip to the east side of the island, looking for Gold Rock Beach, about 35 miles from Freeport - in other words, the middle of nowhere - we stop and turn the car off to walk out to this stream/beachy area to see if this place was Gold Rock. We determined it wasn't, so we got back in the car and....NOTHING. The engine doesn't turn over at all. Nada. Zip. No juice. Heart pounding. Stay clam. I got out of the car, popped the hood. Bingo! Battery cable off! Whew! You see, the roads we had been traveling on were a bit pot hole filled and it had apparently been already loose, so the bumpy roads did the rest. Boy, that was scary. Cell phones didn't work there!
