Lincoln Town Car

After the Hiundai Sonata, we rented a Lincoln Town Car (LTC), to drive in the "Land of Lincoln" (that's the motto for the State of Illinois, in reference to the famous former US President).

The LTC is indeed a stately car, a sort of mini-limo, or as our friend Debbie puts it "an old man's car", followed by laughs and "my father drives one". In Portugal we would call it a "banheira", a bathtub.

But don't let yourself be misguided by all the negative publicity, the LCT is a spacious, very comfortable car, and it gives you the outside and inside temperature in Celsius (I liked that!). Its biggest problem? It guzzles a lot of petrol and the planet won't be any better for that. It's an experience, an American experience.
