These Pictures look the same, but are they?

Illustration: Uhaul, I Haul, We All Haul Together ( !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! )

This U-Haul is going to Los Angeles, California. Which is a city. In the Republic of California. Seems fair price to use a trailer for a few days.

This U-Haul is getting the fuck away from Los Angeles, California. Which is a city. In the besieged splinter province of California. I wonder if there’s any difference?

At some point Uhaul is going to start paying people to take their trailers to the coasts.

Heh. I actually ASKED that very question since I have to drive a Land Cruiser to LA (don’t ask...) in the next couple of weeks. “Hey, will they pay me to drive a trailer to California? What do you have the most of these days?”

In this particular PNW city they said they have 10X the normal inventory of this size trailer sitting around.

Seems good to me. U-haul has enough trouble keeping the stuff people have reserved in stock as is.

That’s Curt’s Ratio of Automotive Schiesse :

The Ratio of Market Pricing on any given car model 24 months before it goes off warranty to 24 months AFTER it goes off warranty...

The higher the ratio? The shittier the car.

That’s why 15 year old Audi A8s (and 7-series) trade for 5 cents on the dollar. The market knows and it never lies about what it knows .  You just have to listen.

I’ve never seen a 15X to “surge pricing ratio” before.

Regrettably, I’d love to score this deal on the Car Hauler, which I love, but no dice. An apa rtment-sized enclosed trailer? We’ll make you a helluva deal!

$1065 to get away from CA sounds  like a pretty good deal to me.

Pundit to Willie Nelson: “You’re experienced... why does divorce cost so much? since it happens all the time you’d think it would be easier to get. ”

Willie Nelson: “Because it’s worth every penny...”
