Can someone explain the last panel?
Comic Strips
Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

He meant intensive purposes, as in purposes marked by intensity, e.g. intense meaning extreme degrees of cool/danger/fun. I think the last panel is meant to be them flying through the air in the car, so the intensive purpose the renter had in mind is to drive extremely fast and jump it extremely high.
Just a guess, but that's my feeling on it.
I think that's the intended intensive purpose.
For me to not get it? Man, guess I am really out of the loop. Haha
It's a rental for all intents and purposes because they ain't gonna have to pay for it.
Hmm, that helps explain the treatment of the car, (so now I get what's happening in the last panel, thanks for that) but I still don't get it.
He wouldn't have said "intensive purposes" if it wasn't integral to the joke. He's doing an intense thing in the last panel.
It's just the juxtaposition between a suicide and talking about grammar (in this case, an eggcorn) that creates the humor.
