The determination of the court was that the contract was
unenforceable/unreasonable.  I don't remember the exact ruling, but
it had to do with the terms(ie, fee charge for going over the speed
limit) being buried in the rental agreement, not disclosed up front.
To the court, something stunk, and it wasn't the air freshner.
