Alas, Dear Boise. I believe I'll stay a bit

That sucks you had some problems but hopefully it really is just a relay. Talk about an easy fix.

I agree with not renting a car. If I had to take something as boring as a Camry I'd just fly to avoid that suffering. Nothing like being stuffed into a nasty rental econobox for hours on end. I wouldn't hesitate to hop in the E53 and drive it across country. This past winter I drove all over Oregon and Washington in just a week, with 9 hour stretches at a time through snow storms the entire way. The e53 didn't skip a beat. Hell, I wouldn't (and haven't) hesitate to hop in the E30 and take off toward any destination (less the snowstorms). Many times I have blasted over to the otherside of the state (~5h) in 100+ degree heat. Pop the rear windows and you're good to go.
