Get well Greg!
Good Evening Nevada.

Bruce are you serious, is there an age limit on car rentals????

Hi Craig, Not positive about the car rental age limit but someone that I trust just told me that it is policy with most rental outfits.

I will look it up to verify.

OK, just googled "age limits for car rentals" and evidently the restrictions are rare and vary from company to company. Corporate owned sites are less restrictive than franchises.
Also rules vary from country to country. But when you get to be 70, best to check the rental company website to see the rules.

I saw a white and blue Ford GT today, looks just like your avatar. It was parked all by itself in the front of a old building. All by itself. Must have belonged to the owner of the company. Seeing a car like that in Fresno is rare.

Morning everyone. I hope everyone is doing well.

Things are starting to get a bit more back to normal around here. I think we finally have all the crud that was going around out of the house. I was able to beg and borrow enough to get the parts needed to fix my comp. Now I get to see how long it lasts. It flooded in parts of Vegas but we got about 30 seconds of a very light sprinkle here at the house. I was really hoping for some of the wet stuff. The class that started yesterday says that in order to get a passing grade it takes an average of no less than 40 hours a week homework time. That doesn't even include research and video watching times that tend to very from 30-90 minutes each. This is going to be a long month.

Donna, Grats on the new job. Those look fun to drive.

Thanks for the get well wishes from everyone. I hope you all have a great day.

40 hours a week homework time?!?!? That is ridiculous. Who can spend 8 hours a day doing homework? I guess they figure people don't have lives.

Afternoon Nevada.

Thanks Bruce.
I never thought about something like that. My mom drove until she was 88 then quit on her own. But had a valid Nevada Drivers license that was good until 2016 I believe. She passed in 2012. She had it renewed even after she quit driving.
In Arizona you get your license until your 65 years old, Then you have to renew every 4 or 5 years not sure, will find out next year. So went you get your Arizona drivers license at 16 or 18 whatever age they give out licenses they are good until your 65.
So I just figured as long as you had a valid license you could rent a car.
learn something new every day. Thanks again.
