U-Haul goes to the dark side

At least the word “Sale” looks nice, and it’s just some local guy scrawling on a chalkboard so maybe the misspelling’s not too surprising.
U-Haul used to have on the side of their trucks the name of a state with a relevant mural. They were attractive and it was always nice seeing another U-Haul with state art that I hadn’t seen before. They’ve started to get rid of the paintings and replace them with an insipid, unremarkable $19.95 per day message. It’s bad enough they eliminated the creativity, but the spelling error is inexcusable…




be glad he didn’t misspell it with an “o”.
maybe the u-haul ad guy was chinese and meant to say “mirage”. you know how we are with the “r’s” and the “l’s”.
that makes no sense. i have food coma.
Reply to annieAnnie and I are thinking on same track. At first glance my dyslexic mind thought it said whorehouse.
Reply to PollyI didn’t even notice the misspelling in the first photo, but “milage” caught my eye.
Reply to l3rucewayneDonnie, this is just as bad as “milleage”

Reply to The MascotThanks Tacticus for pointing out, once again, that I look like a complete fool.
Although if this was the price for not going 0-9, I’ll gladly take it.
Reply to DonniePoo Websters. Type in “milage” in Word and you get the red squiggly underline. Therefore “milage” is at best a mistake in spelling and at worst an imaginary word. Like misunderestimate.
HA! Vindicated! Put that in your shell and beat it, Mascot. (and Tacticus, but to a lesser extent). hahaha
Reply to annieOr Microsoft is wrong and those other people are right.
Factoid: Mozilla’s Thunderbird e-mail client considers Thunderbird a misspelling.
