What's this?

Was on travel with a coworker, and we got a new compact rental.


Coworker would floor it every time he took off, then slam on the brakes for every stop. By the time the week was up, whenever he did another hard acceleration, the car would rattle. Something had been shaken loose...lol

Note to self, NEVER BUY A RENTAL CAR!!!!!
