Same for me with the car dealerships. I've never owned a car or even ever contacted a dealership before. My guess is maybe car rental companies are selling the data to dealerships, since they would be gathering email + phone and car-renters would be targets for car-sellers.

I've never owned or rented a car, contacted a dealership, or ever had a license, but my list is almost completely car dealerships. I'm beginning to suspect my state's DMV, where I got my state ID.
The DMV sells its data too.
