1. Rent a truck at Home Depot (literally in front of my house)
2. Drive 8.5 miles to Circuit City
3. Purchase a TV
4. Get the TV loaded into the truck
5. Drive Home 8.5 miles
6. Unload the TV
7. Return the truck


Should i take bets on if i can make it in 75 mins?

It depends on how busy Circuit City is. If they're not too busy, I'd say it's possible.

It'll be close, but I think possible. The couple times I've used HD Truck Rental, they were very fast in paperwork, payment, and bringing the truck around.

Nevermind, if a woman is going, there's no way it can be done in 75 minutes.

Didn't know that. Definitely won't happen under 75 minutes. ;)

Select the TV and purchase first, then get truck all while the CC employees get your TV to the loading area. Pull up, load up, drive home, unload and you're golden! I don't think you'll make it walking in, selecting a TV to buy and then loading up.

See if they will take the order over the phone. Or, can't you order online and pick-up at Circuit City?

Just buy the TV and ask them to have it ready to wheel out at the front door. Depending on traffic/lights, should only be 20 minutes driving time each way, 5 to pick it up and load it, and another 10 to haul it in the house.

Seems perfectly doable to me. 20 minutes driving each way plus 10 minutes loading and 10 minuts unloading. That gives you 15 minutes spare.
