Back in 1999 I rented a car from Dollar at LAX. Over the next weekend I
was checking out one of the malls way down in Orange County and I
locked the keys in the car. :( I phoned Dollar and they said no
problem, it happens all the time. I waited around for a while kinda
watching the parking lot when I saw this van slowly circling. It was
the locksmith on call from Dollar and they just handed me a duplicate
key and apologized for taking so long. They didn't charge anything
extra. They did check my ID, though.

I was pleasantly surprised with this place. I went there with some
friends last year, and although it's not a place that I would likely
choose, I enjoyed it. I can't remember exactly what they called what I
had, but it was kind of marinated steak arranged in kind of a cone
shape.

Anyway, I'm really enjoying these TR's. :) Thanks.
