I bought an ‘08 TSX used as a rage/spontaneous purchase to get away from the complete shitbox of a GTI I owned at the time. The TSX was a better car in SO many ways. That car just kept going - my parents drove it and loved it for another 5 years after I got a new car.

Show up, swap the flood truck and have 10 more to lend to FEMA or whichever state for assistance with disaster recovery to show how rugged the truck is and get ten times the marketing dollars out of it (wrap every vehicle with a good “Rivian Cares” graphic etc).
