Date: Twice in the past 6 months
Time: 8:30AM-ish
Wait Time: don't remember
Car: 2-door
Climate: Smelly
Audio: Rattling of car parts
I've been taking casual carpool for about 10 months now and LOVE it, but I've had two horrible experiences, both in the same car. There's a small two-door old Honda Civic, part white/part blue (probably held together with duct tape!!) that I will NEVER get in again. The driver's a good driver but his car is repulsive, and that's an understatement.
The smell: combination of years of old sweaty man smell & residual cigarette smoke. Imagine the worst body odor smell times 10, plus years of cigarette smoke that has seeped into every inch of the car.
The car: small, and going to fall apart at any moment! The center console in front is missing so you can see the inner workings of the car, and the stereo looks like someone punched it into the car 6 inches so there's exposed metal and wires everywhere. Everything rattles constantly and appears as if it's about to fall apart like the end of a jenga game at any moment.
I'm not picky about the kind of car I ride in, but I DO NOT want to feel the incredible urge to shower again once I get to work, nor do I want to test my ability to hold my breath so as to not breath in this horrible smell during the 20 minute ride.
I love casual carpool but I will forever avoid this car like the plague.
