        How would anyone fit everything they own in that little car? unless all he owns is the clothes on his back and maybe a water bottle.

        In that case no one would notice and no one would make any comment.

        seems vampireapologist has daddy issues and imagined that every dad west of the Rocky mountains cared about him.

          First, how do you know it’s a “him” and not a “her”?

          Second, the Smart Fortwo is surprisingly roomy inside for such a tiny car. A full size suitcase on the passenger seat and a few personal items in the back storage area is completely reasonable.

          Third, there’s no guarantee that any of this even happened. But it’s a lot more plausible than some of the stories posted, especially when you stop making assumptions.

            I don’t agree with the other guy but how would you feel if he used she instead of he and I came in and said “First how do you know it’s a “her” and not a “him”??”

            Like you’re acting somewhat offended someone might have used the wrong pronouns referring to an unidentified person in a fake story

              I’m not offended, I’m just pointing out unfounded assumptions. Such as assuming someone is offended simply because they pointed out unfounded assumptions.

      Yeah this post is r/everybodyclapped material

      also I’ve driven across the United States alone before, a task that can drive anyone slightly senile, and I was making up stories in my head too.

            That’s because turkeys take out the car with them. Whole shebang goes to the morgue.

            Ok maybe not the morgue, but they do tend to get nicely lodged in whatever part of the car they get struck by. This is generally the front grill, as they are about 5-year-old size and tend to travel on foot, but they are flying bowling balls and can lodge into windshields pretty well too.

            I’ve heard of a number of people hitting them (rural area) and the turkey soup always goes with the car.

      I absolutely pay attention to plates, especially to notice out of state ones. The further away, the better. When I went cross country I got 48/50 states (missed North Dakota and Hawaii), and DC and a few Canadian provinces.

      The route is easily explained by wanting to drive the pacific coast if you have the time 🤷‍♂️

      People have different priorities
