Did you know?

My husband found a motor on Craigslist that he wanted to buy for a truck he is restoring. But the motor was in Placerville which is about 100 plus miles from where we live. His truck is not running well so we went to rent a U-Haul trailer so we could take my car. We went all the way to Yuba City to rent this trailer to find after everything was done that U-Haul will not rent anything to a Ford Explorer. We asked why but the guy wasn't sure "imagine that", he just knows that they Do Not rent anything for a Ford Explorer. Any way does anybody know anything about this? Since several of us own them.

To end the story he went and got the motor tonight another way that cost a lot more money. But oh well he got the damn motor.

Wow guys, this thread has exploded! What lively discussion! I feel kinda left out, as I don't drive (yet?), but that's okay, it's been fun to read. As for me, right now Klinkman drives my parent's 2006 Toyota Sienna "soccer van" with a ramp equipped around to take me places. If I could though, my dream car would be a Mini Cooper- those things are so cute and sexy! No, I have not seen The Italian Job, but I know they're everywhere in that movie. I'm not much of a car girl I guess, but I do like that one. I definitely don't see the appeal of the Corvette though, that thing is ugly. Except for the one they're giving to the WSOP champions winner, that one's not bad lol. So yeah, I don't have any good stories to tell like you guys, but there's my two cents for this thread lol.

Tay didn't you just get a new set of wheels. The sharp one that goes fast and is green on the bottom. (I think it's grn on the bottom) And everybody gave advice for her name. Which reminds me why didn't you let us know. Unless it's still in the works.

Oh right my new wheelchair! Yeah it's almost ready for me to use full time, it's a lot of fun trying it out though! I still haven't come up with a name for her yet- maybe I should reopen the contest? The only one I seem to remember right now is Old Betsy, I remember Ringo had some Beatles related name but I can't remember what it was right now :( Anyway, yeah I do have that! It's not a car, but it might as well be!

It may not be a car but it has a motor and it has wheels! Just because it don't have doors. I bet shes got a seat belt. And she's yours. Can't get no closer than that to the real thing. But this is in a big way better cause it will fit and go where cars can't. Like on airplanes and on trains. In buildings on sidewalks and in the mall, down hallways, in the movies........ and many many more. Much more convenient IMO.

Old Betsy yuck

At least call it Maxwell or somrthing
Ringo would be OK too

I have to agree with you Ringo on the "old Betsy" name as it is the most common name I have ever heard any one call their old cars. So yuck is my opinion as well.
