It drives me nuts that every time I rent a car all they have is SUV’s.

Coming soon, from Tom:

I live in Denver, didn’t get hit but a car buddy of mine did. Not his car, but this Lexus IS looks like the back window was shot out:

My biggest problem with their small cars is they are so gutless that you feel even more like you’re being ran over by unfamiliar traffic.

No shit, I’ve always gone for a small 4 door sedan for exactly that reason. No need to add “Blind spots the size of California” and “I have no idea where the back end actually ends” to my list of driving trip based hassles.

The problem is, when gas spikes, there’ll be demand for more efficient cars, and Hertz will have the same problem of having to dump cars in their fleet into a saturated market, as they do now.

More and more customers want to rent SUVs instead of the dinky cars usually associated with rental fleets

hope they’re getting hybrids/lectrics... otherwise i can see them having to buy all those crappy little cars again when gas prices go back up...

What I don’t get is how little physical effect this wreck had on the car in the right lane. The car didn’t seem to get slammed forward at all, nor was there any severe damage visible. Also being a hatchback I don’t get how the Audi ramped over it instead of just crashing.
This entire wreck is very strange.

If a car on fire was partially on top of mine, I’d do the same thing.

FIRE.

They probably thought that being up on his car, they wouldn’t be able to get out of the fiery mess that was the Audi. They tried to make it easier to use the doors; especially being pinned against the post at the end there. Guessing it was for access to/by the people inside.

The Audi driver wont have very many money by the time thats settled.

They probably saw flames in the rear view mirror and were trying to get away.

Worst in all that is that the Jeep driver is the one who had to get out of his own car through the passenger door... That’s stupid enough in itself.

Back when I had a Wrangler Unlimited, I went to a sandwich shoppe nearby to pick up lunch on a nice summer day. When I came back, two Ford E150 vans were parked over their lines, so I couldn’t get in through the side doors. I had the top down so I just hopped in through the back. :D

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha it’s the Fiat 126! HILARIOUS.

Postings like this are probably why it is good I don’t have F you money. I’d have a garage full of Subaru Brats, odd gigantic barge wagons from the 70's, a 90's Roadmaster Estate with a big block swap for no reason, obscure Mazdas, a Nissan Figaro, and probably a diesel Mitsu Delica star wagon for good measure.
