So, he got a ride. He refused to borrow my friends car. He refused to take my car…even though I handed him the keys with a giant grin on my face.
He must have known what I was plotting. He must have known. Because, why else would he not want to take my car? Why else would he have decided that he must ride with his co-worker?
He wants me to suffer and drive the same car I’ve been driving for six years. And you know why? Because if he can’t get a new car…I’m not allowed to either!
Doesn’t he realize that this isn’t the lifestyle that I’m accustomed to? Doesn’t he realize how sick I am of driving the same. stinking.car?
Of course he does. But…he doesn’t care. Because…
if he has no luck with cars…and he isn’t getting a new one…
then why should I?
Big. Dumb. Jerk!!!
Well, I guess in his defense…Suze Orman just announced that the economy is about to get worse, so if we own cars…don’t get rid of them. Just keep them in good condition. Because it isn’t going to get much better for a long time…kinda scary, no?
So, I guess I AM lucky. And I should stop complaining…because we own my car. It’s in great condition…aside from a little damage caused by a garage door altercation. So, if the economy gets way worse and for some awful reason we lose the house…
We always have my car.
How lucky…
I suppose I should keep it neater. Just in case we have to move in.
XOXO
So is your car even big enough to fit the whole family? If not, I would skip the keeping neat part…. LOL
Damn. No new car.
sigh
Oops. It cut me off.
I was also going to say how I would love to trade my minivan in for a smaller car but that would mean that I can’t take all of my kids with me whenever I go somewhere.
Hey…
maybe I’m on to something! 😉
Hi Mel, your hubby’s luck with cars leaves a bit to be desired eh? 😉
We’re not looking for any brand NEW cars, but we are shopping for newer used cars, those that get excellent gas mileage to be specific.
Right now I drive a truck that doesn’t get very good gas mileage at all, so today I’m off to go test driving a few I’m interested in, including the Nissan Ultima Coupe 2-door.
Since I don’t have to cart around kiddos anymore, since mine are all grown now, I’m even going to check out a couple 2-seater cars like the Mazda Miata. I think I’ve paid my dues after all these years of station wagons, mini vans and other large cars, and now it’s time for me to have some fun with what I drive. But whatever I decide on, it will not be a brand new car due to depreciation, but it will be a newer used car with very low miles on it.
If you’re still considering getting another vehicle, definitely look for the specials and don’t let any of those pushy car dealers manipulate you into buying what you don’t want. My hubby always laughs when we look at cars, since the car dealer tends to ignore me and speaks directly to my husband, when they really need to be talking to me. I mean, it is MY car we’re talking about here. hehehe
no new car? sad.
i just got a new car. well, it’s new to ME. too bad it’s a 1998…
sigh.
Start entering all those “New Car” giveaways . . . there’s gotta be some out there. I mean, you may have to sell your soul, but hey, anything for the “new” car smell.
Seriously, isn’t the Motor City just dyin’ to get rid of some cars on the cheap?
We are actually thinking of selling one of our cars and getting a bike. A bicycle, that is. How cool . . . yay.
There’s still hope. He’ll get tired of rides….
I forgot to mention the other reason we drive old cars is that they’re all paid for and we only have to buy liability insurance. Full coverage in this area is prohibitively expensive because of all the road hazards (coal trucks, log trucks, idiot drivers, uninsured drivers, etc.)
And I agree, he’ll get tired of catching rides soon enough.
