Remember how for a while that if you saw a PT Cruiser there was a 75% chance it was a rental car because no one was buying them? That's Tesla/Rideshares now!

I went to Maryland on a business trip and they gave me a PT Cruiser as a rental while I was there, but to be fair it was a really nice car and I thought "maybe I should buy one of these"

As someone who fell into that bucket once, I understand completely. The cargo space was great (didn't need it), the driving experience was "soap box racer made of foam core, but somehow slower."

In the same era, I attended a wedding where everyone rolled up in a rented HHR, including me.

Apparently it's also Mustang Mach-Es and law enforcement vehicles now too. I saw maybe 3 on the road before this week and that number more than doubled because my local cops slapped blue LED flashers on some black, tax-funded midlife crisis mobiles.
