What's crazy is they'll rent that to an 18 year old college student, but the same rental agent won't rent the same student a Neon!

How far do you have to drive? I had a 1300 mile stretch and I vowed I will never do that again. Air brakes kept messing up causing the cruise to go out and a loud noise would erupt when that happened. This caused me to have to pull over and literally pull this tab out from under the dash to fix it. That happened about 20 times throughout the trip. ABS went out a few times, causing the same problem except there wasn't any tab for me to pull on. I had too much weight in the thing so it would only do 65 on a flat grade with the cruise set. I'm talking 45mph on a slight grade and less than 20mph in the mountains. My shoulders were so sore from man handling the steering wheel after that trip it was crazy. I also suffered my first full blown anxiety attack due to all the fun malfunctions. Ahh, memories.



That picture of Jim keeps me laughing every time I see it.

I have about 10 trips back and forth at about 5 miles per trip. No freeway driving though, just city traffic which by what you guys are describing is gonna be a really huge bitch in a 28 foot POS LOL.

28 feet, holy crap, i blew up the engine in a 24 foot a few years ago when we moved. It was a total pile of crap, I was amazed that it didn't fall apart shortly before it blew up.



Pretty much needed 3 lanes to drive the thing on the freeway.

My thoughts exactly. I was amazed they would let me drive something that big with nothing more than a drivers license. But then again we let soccer moms drive Suburbans and H-2's.
