You can buy just about anything online in this modern era. While purchasing food, furniture, and even pet snacks online is commonplace, buying a car with a smartphone while binge-watching Netflix still isn't the norm.

Companies such as Carvana sell cars completely online. Buyers research the car through their app and never have to leave the couch. Once purchased, the car can be delivered, or "bought" through a larger than life vending machine.

While this is good marketing, people are just not into it. According to a study of 2,000...

I grew up the Midwest. Topeka, KS is very much a car culture. Wanamaker Road, our main drag, is lined with drive-thrus: pharmacy drive-thrus, dry cleaning drive-thrus, and liquor drive-thrus.

Kansans need to drive several hours with parents prior to getting a driver’s license. Most of my parent practice hours consisted of zipping down 10^th street to pick up dry cleaning or an Arby’s roast beef ‘n’ cheddar with curly fries. During my college years I would often roll up to Scooters coffee for a quick drive-thru latte on the way to class and made many a late-night run to the Little Caesars drive-thru...
