I like to think that now the donor 2015 Camaro is out there rocking the 272,000-mile 1.6-liter G16 four that made only 97 HP.

If you ever drove an SSR, you’d understand.  They make no sense until you drive one. 

I talked him down to 12,500 in Google play gift cards. His uncle is sending it via transport since he’s out of the country. Already sent him my SSN and DOB so he can notarize the title. Snooze ya loose!

When I was a lube tech in a dealership we drove every car up the street and back just to make sure there were no obvious fuckups, like forgetting to refill it with oil or double gasketing a filter.

Perhaps part of it is because we (well, just me, nowadays) don’t write about their dumbest tests.

Roughly 80% of the Garage 54 content is this exact kind of pointless curiosity.

It was a cool experiment, but the result wasn’t surprising. That being said, not sure I agree with you about it being massively wasteful. These guys turned resources into dollars, no different than most capitalistic endeavors.

And in my experience, comes with a massive fucking discount if you have AAA.

Yep. Penske is good for big moves.

Penske is almost always cheaper for one-way. No idea why she’s using Uhaul, they’re usually the worst and most expensive. 

The employee that drives it back isn’t free. They incentivize rentals that help them relocate stock to where people want it. Nothing nefarious there.

It’s to make up for the fact that now U-Haul has to pay to get the truck back to the original city where it’s in demand, instead of having a bunch of trucks in a city where nobody is leaving.

It’s not there just to fuck people over, it’s there because it’s more expensive for U-Haul to provide those kinds of rentals. 

Always good to hear from the 5-year olds.

Might be late now, but shopping around for box trucks is a good idea.

Her route includes 6 days and all miles in the quote, along with a hefty $1300 one-way the wrong way surcharge.

Wait, is this, is this NOT a slideshow?!?

Missed one:

I won’t swerve for anything smaller than a deer and even then, it is 50/50. If you have good brakes/tires and no one behind you, modern ABS should save you from most incidents depending on speed and environment.

One of the things I stressed with my kids when teaching them to drive was not to swerve for anything smaller than a cat. There’s plenty of squirrels, not worth potentially running off the road to save one.
