About eight or nine months ago, my wife and I were shopping for a second car. We ended up getting her VW Passat Wagon (B6) and she loves it. However, we did drive a Fiat 500 Abarth because she kind of wanted a little sports car.
So, we went to CarMax and drove !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . It's back at the same CarMax. Eight months later.
So I can't be the first opponaut to think of this, but why not play a game? Find a car and have it shipped to a CarMax near you — for free. Then have it shipped to another CarMax — for free. Then to another, and another, et cetera, ad nauseum.
We could probably get one car to go around the country about six times if we were dilligent enough.

Looks like it got into a bit of a fender bender. The front bumper looks to be a slightly different shade of red

Oppo picks one car, and it has a starting CarMax location. An Opponaut goes and test drives the car, and then when they're done, another Opponaut gets the car transferred to their CarMax, test drives it, and then another Opponaut gets it transferred again to their CarMax, they drive it, etc until every Opponaut gets it transferred and drives it. Then, after it goes full circle, Doug DeMuro buys it.
Sounds like fun.

Each Opponaut would write a short "Jalopnik Review" for it, too. Like 500 words or so on the driving impressions.

Best idea ever.
