I was buying a 3rd family car that will eventually become my newly driving daughter's first car. We had seen (and LOL'd) at the CARFAX commercials SO much that I came up with about 50 more ideas for funny Show Me The CARFAX commercials. I would text ideas to my daughter and we shared many more laughs! But when I started to seriously research cars, it became clear how important a good CARFAX report actually was...as there are lots of salvage titled cars out there. I was MUCH more comfortable buying from a private party knowing the car we decided on had a good CARFAX history! But the FUNNY story doesn't end there... When my wife and I went to register the car, we decided to get new license plates...which were randomly issued to us with the letters "FAX". I immediately sent a photo of the plates to my daughter and said here is our new Car FAX. And that's what we affectionately call the car now: CarFAX! True Story...Too Funny :-)
