now wait a second!!
my penske story. i rented from them. the smallest truck that could pull a car trailer. i was moving from texas to CA. the truck was essentially empty, but i needed it for the towing my truck. my new job was covering 90% of the expenses anyways. whatever. my own personal car was tiny and feeble. my mattress wouldnt fit.
i had a friend that had an interview in LA. she was broke, and asked if i could drop her off. sure...free ride for her, someone to talk to while i drive. win!
i get to LA, and she directs me to her mom's house. hmmm...sure looks like Comptom. hmmm.. IT IS COMPTON!! i drop her off at night..8:00 pm ish. leaving her house..BOOM! a tire blows out on the trailer..i look and the remaining tire on that side of the tandom looks really bad too.. i pull over to a gas station, right when the shop owner was pulling this armor shield over his windows and doors. he looks at me, gives me his blessing to park there, scurries away. i call penske. the nicest lady answers looks at my position on a map...and says, "OMG! you're in compton..cage and figeroa. " yup..she tells me she cannot get someone to me till 8:00 am. and hangs up on me.
scariest night of my life. gunfire. hookers and blow. gunfire..slow cars circling me..i stabbed my knife into the dash for a quick grab..and hunkered down. if there was ever a time i needed a gun.. people knocking on my window all night...
they never charged me for putting the knife wound into the new dash..
