Rental cars = public restrooms?

[PrivatePixel]

.....according to an MSNBC report, rental cars can harbor as much germs and bacteria as a public restroom.

MSNBC video: Rental cars are sometimes vile vehicles

On a somewhat unrelated note, 58 percent of Chrysler sales went to fleets (that should help with consumer perception and resale value )

Yea, when I get a rental, the first thing I do is take it home, wash it and wipe it down. So gross!

Used cars really aren't much better unless they've been thoroughly cleaned.

Everyone needs some bad germs to make the good ones work better!

Next time you get a rental car and you're stopped at a red light be sure the person in the car beside you sees your gloves. Then give them your best Hannibal Lechter smile.

The best bet with a rental car is to wipe everything down with some Clorox wipes...kill those nasty germs!

I've actually heard they are worse. So are hotel rooms and your desk at work can harbor worse germs than a public restroom.

Here is the link to the Mythbuster's results that show things that are dirtier than your toilet. You might be surprised what you touch everyday that is worse.
