I want to give you more stars, but alas, I cannot.

Ultimate “Dad Car” 2019:

Objection! Badgering the witness!

Am I the only one here that actually likes these grill swaps?

I still track where my old Mazda3 is. When I got rid of it for my ST, turns out the new owner moved less than a mile where I lived, so I saw it every once in a while. He put different wheels on it (looked awful) and messed up my MS3 cat-back. 

ALWAYS hand your keys to someone and get a receipt. Usually the smaller locales are better at this I find. After one mishap with a Budget rental years ago, I will either drop it off while they’re open or go back the following day when they open to get my receipt and give them their keys. 

I mean, I hate doing that dance myself, so I get the response.

Once they banned the couches, they moved on to the dumpsters.

Instant CP because you put “woke” in the title. 

Honda Element.

My elderly babysitter had one of these in the late 1980s. I remember sitting in the back seat that I thought had more space than my house. Seats that would literally eat you they sunk so deep. Ripped one of those stupid buttons of the seat bottom too. She never knew.

Have an extra bottle for the rest of us?

Honestly, it seems fair. Compare it to most other popular places to sell your car (Cars, AutoTrader, etc.) and this is still dirt cheap. Facebook is full of rebuilt Focus sedans and rusted Trailblazers anymore.

So buy the Standard, pay a Russian a few bucks to hack it to get those features, and you’re still saving money. Seems easy enough.

That first picture is much better looking than any of the other stuff Bugatti actually puts out. 

The people who DO know their license plates are definitely the minority and are usually shunned by society. 

My wife’s been driving a late-model CR-V with a rear hatch like that for almost 8 years now (6 years with her first one before the current one) and we’ve never once complained about the rear door opening from the side. Must be in the minority.

Just to add to your first question, the majority of off-lease vehicles will come through an auction sale as well.
