You may be the first person calling for more idiots. I want then all to die in a fire, and turn off their forking brights. Also try to park straight, even in a snow covered parking lot.

And don’t park in handicapped spots without the tag/license. Don’t park on the slanted lines on the ground. Even your motorcycles.

Don’t text and drive, you won’t see me crossing the road on foot
Please learn if you have locking lug nuts and if you have the key!
Use the proper headlights for the weather.

If you called for roadside assistance, answer the phone when someone calls - I have a 800 number I call from, and the driver may not have a local number.

Don’t threaten that you’ll leave your kids on the side of the highway to die (?????) if we don’t get you service now *stomps feet*

We don’t have flying tow trucks, they drive the same roads as you do.

Lexus: name your car colors something useful. Liquid platinum? Atomic silver? Sonic titanium? Satin cashmere? Caviar? Noooooo. Bad names. “Silver” gray. White. Another gray. I dunno caviar, looks black. (I have a website with color names and some of them aren’t there....)

I forgot the rest.

When I was in 12th grade I had a full sized Ford custom 4-door with a 5.0 V8, but sadly, and automatic. My Dad said it was left over from a fleet order. The color? We always referred to it as puke yellow. It was certainly a color nobody would purposefully order.

Idiot: enterprise

Rented a Camaro to a member in Michigan.

Member needs a vehicle swap because he can’t drive on the snow.

What did they expect????

National roadside renter a member a Miata. Banged that up pretty good this morning - smashed windshield, tires wouldn’t roll, heavy damage to the side...was intertwined with the guard rail wires.

Good job. How about you rent practical cars, like a Malibu or impala.

Speaking of the slip and slide, Minnesota has drowning in more dandruff. Ditches are littered with...you guessed it 4x4s of all sorts.

So the problem isn't the vehicles , nor is it the drivers,.....it's those sons of ditches!

They have heard of sewer pipe and dirt up in Minnesota, haven't they?

I spent my boyhood in ditches - how else were you going to find frogs, cattails, and leeches?

They covered them up and widened the roads years ago. The trees that used to touch to form a canopy above the road are long-gone as well. You have to go a lot further away from Detroit to find a Rue-Roll area in these modern times we live in.

Probably a lot of people out there in 4x4s who don't know how to operate them. The old days of manual locking hubs the driver had to know how to operate the vehicle.

I'll say! Detroit would be a great place to be from--far from! I think it might be rather nice in a small town like Ionia MI.

But if you really want to get Rue-Roll, go to Freeport Michigan. There it is like the Twilight Zone episode where the guy driving in a bad storm went back in time, but for the modern cars you would have no idea. There is not a single chain store there. Whole town barely covers a quarter section.

Define practical to rent that’s not expensive for the renter.
