They also offered three prizes to me to give away to my readers: A Gift Basket consisting of a National tumbler, a National embossed leather writing pad, a National pen set, a weekend duffel bag and a driving kit, and two $25 American Express gift cards.

In order to enter my contest, I want to know what your favorite band was back in 1987.

My favorite band in 1987 was the Cure. I had been into hair bands up until then when a friend of mine let me borrow his Cure “Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me” cassette tape. I was blown away and my musical tastes changed forever.

This then led me to New Order

And to Depeche Mode

Leave a comment in the comment section of what your favorite band was in 1987 and I will pick three random winners from the entries – good luck!

Thanks to all of you who entered the National Car Rental $100 gas card contest.

I ran the random number generator, and comment number 15 won – Pat!

I signed up for this promo as soon as it was offered (3 rentals so far!). My flights usually arrive in the middle of the night, and I found that I can joke around and empathize about long hours and off-shifts with the folks at the National Counter moreso than the other big chains.

My GF and I are planning a trip to Oregon for me to meet, for the first time, her extended family, right before the Holidays. Regardless of this drawing, we are using our free National Rental days to get us around
