forget burnouts, the last U haul I rented could barely crawl.
I think that truck was older than I am and I'm older than dirt.

Hah.. well that explains some of it... I just figured Uhaul just never updated their trucks.

Personally, I avoid Uhaul now if I can and use Penske truck rental. They seem to have nicer trucks, are never booked way out, and they're usually the same price.

If you are older than dirt, and I'm older than you, where does that leave me?

The one U-Haul I rented was a total beater. Could hardly get out of its own way, let alone do a burnout. Although I did find it somewhat amusing when, after finally getting the thing up to 80 MPH on the highway, it shook so badly that I was actually able to see glimpses of daylight between the door frame and the cabin frame.

Did you get to say goodbye to the dinosaurs?

Thanks for the Lindt chocolate btw. That was good stuff




Oh yea, all the Uhauls I have ever rented suck.
Due to the above dinosaur comment, I will never EVA share my chocolate with you again.
