I just bought a house that needs a lot of work. In a town that has no residential trash pickup.

I still don't own a pickup and just don't have the money to spend on one. Over the weekend I planned on renting a Uhaul to move some stuff to the house before I officially "move in".

Unfortunately, UHaul canceled the last minute. I impulse bought a small utility trailer for my Focus. Tows great and will be super useful in the future! Just need to drop some money on a spare tire for it

Got 30MPG towing this empty. Oddly enough, fuel economy went up with it loaded.
