Don't keep doing donuts in the snow when your oil pressure gauge drops to nothing and think it's only a guage failure.....(not my truck, my buddy's mustang)

Don't hit a 4 foot snow pile at 40 mph when its actually a hard pile of ice form a snow plow. That was a fun FFA meeting back in the day. Truck made it but it was scary. They say i was higer then there heads!

I agree.......I haven't ever looked at any cars that once served their lives as rentals and I know I'd never buy one either just from my own experiences abusing them. Hey, it ain't my car.... i'm just renting! Every chance I had I put the pedal to the floor, pulled the e-brake, did burnouts, anything I could do to have fun at no expense!! I feel bad....not.
Here's something odd when I went to rent a car one time. I rented from enterprise, and I needed a truck to take the place of mine for about a week. They wouldn't rent me a truck, claiming something about too much risk. But they still rented me a car. Still....they rented me a car....so what's the difference if I take that car out and wrap it around a tree versus the truck? Not much, cuz they gave me a car that costs about the same as a comparable rental pickup which is as base as base gets. Idiots...

Dont try rock crawling on a 12 foot pile of ice in a 2wd F150. My buddys truck - we had just converted it to 4WD, hadnt gotten the front driveshaft made yet, went out for a little ride and he saw one of those big snow/ice piles made by plow trucks and decided to test the new suspension out. One big KERSNAP later and we were walking home.
