[Shop-talk] trailer advice needed

[scott.hall at comcast.net]

I'll second this--I've tried on maybe five different occasions to rent a car trailer from uhaul.  have yet to be successful, for the reasons steven mentioned.  the biggest shocker was they they didn't like the car I said I was going to tow on the trailer.  lie if you have to.
