Same, every U-Haul I've ever rented has been a janky piece of poo poo that could barely maintain highway speed (55 lol). I am genuinely impressed and/or not convinced that a U-Haul *squints* 20ft could actually haul that thing, much less through what appears to be a ditch or at least grass.

I let a crazy person drive my U-Haul while I took a rental car, and he made a 10 hour trip in 7. Everything was mashed up against the rear door and spilled out when we opened it. I still have no idea how he managed that.

Edit: I was trying to make fun of the dumbass headline here, and tie it to the running joke about shoes falling off, in case that wasn't clear. Getting rundown because some guy couldn't get laid isn't funny. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

If it helps, I think the driver is trying to take the right turning exit lane against the traffic to avoid the left turn around the little island the stop sign is on. It doesn't change the  of this affair, however.

I managed to get a 14' one to the 70mph interstate speed limit (IIRC it had a governor at 70), but you can almost watch the gas gauge drop in real-time at that point.

Chevy will happily sell you a 20 foot box truck toting a 6.0 liter V8. With 340-360 horsepower, aerodynamic forces limit the top speed more than lack of power.

Every U-Haul I've driven has been governed to top out at interstate speeds anyway.

Haven't seen a U-Haul with a diesel since the late '90s (also the last time I saw one have a stick), presumably because they got tired of having trucks taken out of service after idiots put gas in 'em.

You can get them, but you usually have to call in advance and ask.

You would think the editor would go with a more tasteful tagline than "SHREDDED ALIVE", but it is The Sun: SHREDDED ALIVE Horrifying moment chopper crash survivor is sliced to death by spinning blades of a second helicopter that came to rescue him after seven days Video has the moment of impact but no gore is shown. Probably don't watch if you're extra sensitive to these things. What a way to go.

Deteriorata posted:Beats dumping solid calcium carbide into the headlight housing every few miles. No one in that car would survive a collision severe enough to burst that acetylene tank anyway. I remember my dad and grandpa trying to teach me how to drive manual on a 1929 Ford Model A. Before they let me go down the street my grandpa pulled me aside and said "just to let you know, this car predates such things as seat belts, collapsible steering columns, and tempered glass windshields. Have fun!" The shifter felt like death every time I wanted to switch gears and I stalled the engine five thousand times before I gave up.

Have fun!" The shifter felt like death every time I wanted to switch gears and I stalled the engine five thousand times before I gave up. This randomly reminds me: one of my cousins used to work at the Henry Ford Museum. One of the things he'd do there was drive visitors around on a little loop in a Model T. He said that basically every day he'd get at least one cocky guy bugging him "hey man, can you let me drive it? I drive stick, I have a Mustang, I know what I'm doing, I won't tell anyone," and so on. His response was usually to jump out and say "sure! take over" and then bask in the guy's expression when he slid into the driver's seat: quote:The Model T's transmission was controlled with three foot pedals and a lever mounted to the road side of the driver's seat. The throttle was controlled with a lever on the steering wheel. The left pedal was used to engage the transmission. With the floor lever in either the mid position or fully forward and the pedal pressed and held forward, the car entered low gear. When held in an intermediate position, the car was in neutral. If the left pedal was released, the Model T entered high gear, but only when the lever was fully forward – in any other position, the pedal would only move up as far as the central neutral position. This allowed the car to be held in neutral while the driver cranked the engine by hand. The car could thus cruise without the driver having to press any of the pedals. :iamafag:

My dad taught me to drive stick in his manual-everything pickup when I was 9. He told me, "listen, my family has a history of heart problems. If one of us is in trouble, and no one else can drive, I want to make sure you can drive us to the hospital." Thanks, Dad. I love having a crisis of mortality while also wrestling a big, red vehicle that handles like a horse on meth. Awesome.
