So coming back today from running errands, went down a side road I hadn't gone down in many years. It goes up steeply at the end to a stop sign, intersecting with a busy street. Apparently they regraded the street when they did a bunch of construction over the last few years, and then just dumped crap on the approach from the side road and 'rounded it over' to reconnect the two.
I start to go and my v8 pickup spun the rear tires on dry pavement trying take a right turn. I tried again and slid backwards a couple feet. I had to put it in 4 wheel drive to actually go forward, meanwhile people are bombing down the street like 40-45. Holy shit was that road dangerous now. I literally don't understand how they left it like that, if it was raining I doubt anything without 4 wheel drive or AWD could actually start on that hill.
Like the red is the main street that it used to grade up to, and they rebuilt the whole street in that section (regrading it going up its hill) and just rose the last like 5-6 feet before a huge mound to level it out to meet it. I almost put it in 4 low.

I've seen some genuinely retarded roads here and there.
Worst was an intersection. It was offset and had a big dip in it.
Wood pole is the red dot, dip is the red line. Pretty dangerous combination. I heard a guy hauling ass and he hit the pole so hard I could hear it from really far away. He hit the dip, became airborne and then tried to remove the pole with his face.
Another place had a big curb almost sticking into the intersection. Never did figure out why it was there.
Another dumb one. 70 MPH road. 4 lane that went to two lanes then back to 4. People regularly did 85+ there, and I can't imagine how much of a clusterfuck it was during rush hour.

Everything I've seen is its great sometimes to sell to Carmax, have never found anything I'd consider purchasing from one though. Their prices tend to be higher than anything comparable, especially because 99% of their inventory is ship in (at your cost to try!). Seems more slanted towards buy here/pay here crowd and people who purchase by monthly payment even if its a cheaper used car.

Selling to them is easy and always a little better than KBB instant cash offers. Good to have and use vs the dealers that will call you on those KBB offers to kick it up a smidge.
I have known a few people that bought from them… its like… a “dealership” exp, they have all the financing, add ons, warranty options etc… but its..”not a dealership” lol
They used to ship all over and only far is at cost… now… even one store to another for me thats like 10mils is 199$ lol
They are great to go try out cars, you can wonder around the whole lot and everything’s unlocked. Now test drive, you gotta talk to a bro

Sticker price wise the Carmax Sticker prices seem better than Upstate NY …fucking NY. The financing in my area isn’t actually that god aweful, but the selection is between 10+ year old cars and brand new, and I’m looking for a maybe 2-5 year old dependable Camry as an everyday commuter. I really didn’t want to replace my beater, but the Rust claimed it
