Life = Unfair to Wirey

So far this year, I've purchased a new Lexus for my wife, a two year old Honda for my Mom, and now I'm going out to help my middle son (who is a lazy schmuck) get into his 2008 Cobalt. I'm footing the bill, and my wife promises that he'll 'pay me back', which at our house translates to 'screw me royally'. My car is so base model it doesn't have AC (necessary in Canada about 15 minutes a year, but still). Why am I driving the Junkmobile while everyone else gets a sweet ride?

Why not just buy everyone else older and less expensive vehicles? Can't get the son a bus pass?

How is a lazy shmuck supposed to pick up chicks with a bus pass?

That won't even work on Canadian chicks.

You're getting exactly the results you intend.
That is so unfair!

Here is "unfair"....
- Your wife trades her Lexus for a week's stay in the Hotel Revolting. Worse yet....you have to go along with her.
- You mom uses the Honda to campaign for Gary Johnson. Yes, she became a Libertarian.
- Your son trades his Cobalt for a flitch of bacon. OK, this really isn't so bad.
- Your junkmobile isn't an AMC Gremlin. Hey, at least it isn't a Pacer!

That a really sad story. You're probably right, life probably is unfair for poor Wirey. I'm just not fully convinced.

You know what would convince me? You don't? That's OK, I'm gonna tell ya.

Now, if you told me that you purchased a new vehicle, or even a used one that was less than 4 years old -- one that has 4 doors, and 4 new tires and seats at least 4 people -- one that is mechanically sound and great 4 frequent, small road-trips, approximately 4 hours each way -- and that you bought that vehicle for some woman, personally unknown to you except 4 frequent online conversations 4 the purpose of discussion, debate and entertainment -- I might be inclined to feel sorry 4 you. But, that's just me.

Give your son your old car, you buy something nicer. You can't mess with the wife or the mom ... problem solved.

Buy ME a car.

I want a Hybrid Prius, cause me wanna be eco friendly.

You should be grateful that you're in a position to be able to afford to be royally screwed over like this. :yes:

It's because you are a Canadian. That means you're a socialist, and you can't help but let yourself be bled dry by the sponging class.

you forgot the worst thing of all. you know me
