@thenughuffer: People passionately hate the Cult of Scientology, too. Just sayin.
@zyodei: B-B-But how will people carry out their passive-aggressive fantasies when they can just call, or worse yet, talk to someone face-to-face?

Its so much easier to key someones car than actually deal with another human being.

What you propose makes too much sense.
@TheShadowFromHell: One-year old rentals. We picked up an AWD Limted with 30k on it for $25k. That included the extended warranty to take the bumper-to-bumper out to 100k.
Funny, my wife talked -me- into it. I was all about an E38 BMW, but the Ford was going to be way less trouble & after sitting in one, its more lux than the Beemer, no joke.
I would rent one so I could drive it into a wall & do the world a favor.

Sadly, I could no longer scam local teenagers into thinking I was their drug dealer..they'd just call me 'Mom'.

(Yes, I've owned a Chrysler. V8 Charger, thx. The price was right & I was glad to be rid of it.)
@Panhardrod: In before 'This is why people think Jeep drivers are asshats' comment.
@cc: I've had 3 of those. #1 and #2 replaced under warranty because of stripped gears. Apparently they break so much that Bed Bath & Beyond didn't even bother asking about receipts, or when purchased.
So in this case, buying from Amazon might not be such a good idea.
@ranwhenparked: Hey that sounds like something cattle breeders in the Midwest are working on. They should get together for tea or something. [en.wikipedia.org]
Uhm, yeah, Happiness would actually be the disposable income to blow on something like a Sonos.
Sorry, my house and/or ego aren't big enough to demand these sorts of very slick solutions to relatively small problems.
If they were, sure, that's the answer to a problem some very fortunate folks might have. However, their home theatre installers (I like to call them The Help) can figure that out. That's what we pay them for.
No? Fine, we'll build it in Mexico, then. Ingrates.

These things will sell like bacon-covered-crack in certain parts of L.A., where its Cayennes & Quattroportes as far as the eye can see.
Project Car Hell..where's its competitor? Yr doing it worng.
@Jim-Bob-proud new owner of 3 cylinders of Geo fury!: That note thing is a little unsettling, isnt it? I've daily-driven all sorts of stuff, from beater pickups, Grampa cars, big-block musclecars, to a series of Porsches, but the only one that got 'wanna sell?' notes was a poo-brown 1980 Datsun 210. I got two on that one. In different towns.. WTF.
@armyofchuckness: Goood thing I've decided my next pickup needs to be an extended-cab, with a habitable rear bench, or the Valiants in these parts would be quaking in fear of a Sawzall'ing.
Um, yeah, I would, and I do. Except they're 10-to-20 years old & unlike highschool girls, they're not going to stay the same age, unless some manufacturers change their ways.

Since the 2005 Tacoma, though, I think I'm out of luck for the prospect of new compact trucks.

Sure big wagons & crossover whatevers can carry crap, but my wife would not be thrilled about me cramming a rusty, dirty & moldy '71 Honda motorbike into the back of her new wagon. I'd rather just toss the crap in the back of the crummy truck (right-side up instead of sideways in the wagon) & happily bounce down the road at 25mpg (a -real- 25mpg, not EPA fiddlefaddle) & not worry about it.
@Tossed Pissed Mazda3hatch sideways: Here, borrow my sarcasm meter. I think yours needs new batteries, or something.
Baruth & Murilee in the same place? Ima have to rethink this self-imposed TTAC ban.
Just tell me there are fewer VERY SERIOUS Camry & Accord reviews. If I want a nap, I'll read Consumer Reports.
@Vavon: Beats a Brava. I won't bring your Stilo into this, though.
Outstanding.
Also, thanks Matt, for introducing me to a scene I never ever ever would have otherwise seen.
Just looking that early-mid 90's indie romantic-comedy flick's stats on IMDB made me want to move north & develop some sort of opiate dependency..again.
