This. We had that car for about three years. It was my wife’s DD.
No issues with it.

I hate yellow anything. Plus, you know those cars have been beaten like a rented mule.

Hard pass. They're all autos anyway, so I'd not even consider it.

I doubt that. Most car rentals happen at the airport. With nobody flying anywhere, no one is renting cars.

The first thing I would do if I bought one of those is get it repainted red, black blue or cyber gray and put a set of chrome wheels on it.

Our "local" Enterprise store has had shit-tons more inventory in the past couple of months than they normally have. Dunno if they're open as I have no need to rent a car right now. And no, this is not an airport location.

The one I used here is not an airport location either. The truck they gave me is licensed in NY. I'll probably get pulled over cause they profile on I75.

Take some lube with you, as the Super Troopers won't provide any.

I've lost all my protection by driving this rental. No retired .Mil plates, they are always good for a warning vice ticket. NY tags in TN will draw the TSP like flies to honey.
