    He probably needs all the drafting power that truck in front has to offer in order to even maintain that speed!

    Just floor it a little bit more and he can hitch a ride on that truck.

    To overcome this use the little flip over thing that stops the brakes from working. It is right behind the hitch. Remember to flip it out again before going forward again.
    You can see it in this image sticking out over the red line on the box.

    What????
    He had to get the fridge home didn't he?

    Um, a rental Prius with a tow hitch, I'd like to see that!!

    I have worse pictures at work but I may get in trouble if I put them on the net. I deal with these clowns on a daily basis.

    Yep, I know what you mean. Unfortunately, every twin axle U-Haul trailer I have ever rented, that lever was *missing*

    U-Haul is famous for having crap that is poorly maintained, and shops staffed with drug addict no-minds
