Gastonia man leads Police on a chase in stolen U-Haul
October 27th, 2008
There is nothing really surprising about this article, other than the getaway vehicle, a U-Haul truck. I understand that they were stealing large items, but let’s get real for a moment. Every U-Haul I have ever rented has been a death trap. (In the interest of full disclosure I have rented two). I am willing to bet the wreck that ended the chase had nothing to with speed, but everything to do with bad tires. Dude, next time rent a Ryder, or make your escape on foot, but please don’t take the U-Haul.
