I rented a Dodge Rebel truck last week.

I've never seen anything drink gas like that vehicle did.

I had it for ~24 hours and it would have been cheaper to Uber everywhere I went.

But it looked good right?

Interior was nice too, right?

It was bright red, and it looked like someone took a hammer

that had nails welded to it and beat the bed, both inside and out. And I noticed it was kinda bouncy riding, so I checked the tire air pressure on the electronic dash readout, and all the tires had 65+ PSI in them.

Mental note: Dollar rental car rents newer trucks that have trailer hitches. I don't know if they specially note that no towing is allowed in their contract, but if I needed something like that, what they don't know won't hurt them.

Surprisingly, it didn't have any side steps on it, so I had to carry a small step ladder for mom-of to get in out of it when I took her to get her Covid test.

Had the truck been taken care of rather than treated like a rental car in its short 8,000 mile life, it would have been a nice vehicle. Were I buying one I'd rather have the laramie or limited version I think as they would probably ride better. It had a lot of power, but it did like the gas stations.

Side note: I also saw today that Carmax sells their trade-ins for about $5k more than they pay for them, which is about $5300 more than I paid for my truck 2 years ago.

Finally. After all these years, I've finally discovered

that my wife has an account on here. Weird she calls herself Wilbur though.

Wilbur like: Day 1 - I just got me a new truck!


Mar 10, 2021, 8:59 AM

Day 3 - Watch me kill this fuel pump!


That's true FU money right there.
