Sweet tooth from twisted metal. What’s not to love about shooting machine guns and rockets from an armored ice cream truck driven by a killer clown? 

Gotta go with Excitebike.  The guy in the background loves it and so should you.  Just don’t overheat it.

Agreed. Violating a rental agreement does not mean you “stole” the car. You might owe them penalties/damages. Like you mention, I think whether a notification was provided or not is going to be a big factor.

If she was notified that the rental was terminated due to improper use I am not sure she has much to stand on here. Now, if she wasn’t notified, how would she know? I am also wondering how they figured out she was using it for Uber? I also find it funny that she thinks Uber saying it is OK make it OK on Avis’s end.

Yeah we’re talking about a guy whose first instinct with a new, completely unfamiliar vehicle was plow it into 2 1/2 feet of snow because he saw it on a commercial.  I’m guessing his problem-solving skills are no the finest.

I’m 50 and I still don’t make $85k. 

Chase Merrill is a 24-year-old ... He figured the $85,626 SUV would make a perfect replacement for his 2015 Ford Edge... He waited three years to take possession of the SUV... Merrill drove his R1S to his family’s shared property in the mountains

This seems like the approximate equivalent to the dummies who call tech support because their computer froze up, and the FIRST thing they tell you to do is reset the fucking computer.

According to the story, he was 21 when he ordered the Rivian. When I was 21 I sure as shit wasn’t thinking about an $80k+ vehicle.

>> He ordered the Rivian on the advice of family members who had Rivians.

Gotta love the total lack of sympathy in the comments for this bingbong who at 21 orders a near on $90k car and then drives it into a snow bank because of “I saw it on tv” mentality.

Don’t get me wrong. If I owned a Rivian I would wheel with it. However, I would spend more than a week getting to know its capabilities before pushing my luck and I would not base my understanding of its capabilities on a marketing video. I’d probably never slam it into a snow drift because you never know what is…

And that’s what someone who doesn’t have their head up their ass would do.

Affluenza. 

I read this elsewhere.

I had seen all the Rivian marketing campaigns with the cars just eating through the snow so it was kind of like, man this is disappointing.

“Most Rivian owners are head over heels for their vehicles”

Dude’s named after two banks so eff him.

You’d be amazed at what a 12V reset can do. Particularly for EVs and software issues, I’d recommend always trying it before undertaking an expensive tow to the service center. Just like a computer -- because it IS a computer.

Did you hear about the guy who mistook a pile of snow for a financial institution?
