    There is a Goodwill commercial with a kid on a BMX-style bike throwing newspapers. Then it shows the bike years later, all dusty. "... of all the cool things you did on your bike, one of the best can be to donate it to Goodwill".

    The kid rides past a big bumper LDO 2 door Mav, twice. It is orange, with a white vinyl half roof and white LDO rub strips on the sides. Looks like a nice car, what little of it I could see.

    This commercial was playing during some of the Powerblock car shows on CBS Sports Network.

    Looks like it was from 2015. I had never seen it before. Good eye! Here is a link to it.

    The version that is playing on TV is a bit different now. Seems like a shorter version. It uses a voiceover with a woman saying what I have listed in quotes. Interesting in that it is mostly silent otherwise, like the clip in the link.
