April 2, 201412 yr You see Cat, I bet you would probably look good dressed in a potato sack driving a Pinto. My point is instantly proven. :lol2:
April 2, 201412 yr My wife is the exception to the rule here. She has a 19 year old car that looks like crap and sounds like it was made by Singer, she just won't get rid of it, says it serves her purpose. I'm feeling good about my married status lasting.
April 2, 201412 yr OK...I must be the exception. I have driven some REALLY crappy cars, but they had 4 wheels and an engine that worked (at least most of the time).
April 2, 201412 yr No worries; all is good in the lawildcat household. I'm not looking for bigger or better. I have driven some pieces of crap before and at this stage in my life, I deserve a car like this! Big shout out to Mr. lawildcat who was the original driver and gave it up because he knows I like SUVs and wanted me to be safe and happy! Love that man! BTW - my car's name is Beyoncé.
April 2, 201412 yr OK...I must be the exception. I have driven some REALLY crappy cars, but they had 4 wheels and an engine that worked (at least most of the time). You even rode the bus. I imagine lawildcat would rather die. :lol2::lol2:
April 2, 201412 yr You even rode the bus. I imagine lawildcat would rather die. :lol2::lol2: You're right. I hate buses. I rode a TANK bus from Crestview Hills to Ft. Thomas every morning and afternoon for 2 years during high school. I swore I would never ride another bus again after graduation.
April 2, 201412 yr You even rode the bus. I imagine lawildcat would rather die. :lol2::lol2: Yeah...I've done that off and on all my life. I'd love to be a fly on a homeless guy if lawildcat was on a bus. :lol:
April 2, 201412 yr Yeah...I've done that off and on all my life. I'd love to be a fly on a homeless guy if lawildcat was on a bus. :lol: Well, I'm not a princess and wouldn't act like one if I were riding a bus, that's for sure. I understand their necessity for some people to survive and I respect those who use buses to save money, cut down on pollution or whatever their reason(s). They just aren't for me.
April 2, 201412 yr Author I like buses. Rode a short one during my school years. Nicknamed it "stubby".:wacky:
April 3, 201412 yr You need to check out "The Man Song" and "The Woman Song". By Sean Morey, I think.
April 3, 201412 yr One of the reasons my wife and I get along so well is that we both agree on function over looks. That's made is possible over the years for us to stretch our dollars much further than they would have otherwise. Used to drive our kids crazy when they were younger but I've noticed that now that they buy their own things they've figured out that there are more important things than looks when making big decisions.
April 3, 201412 yr Does the car run? Good tires? Will it fit my crew? Then I'm good to go. It's not about me anymore. It's about thinking ahead and sending the second one off to college in a year, preferably with a car, then saving up to buy wheels for the third one when he hits 16.
April 3, 201412 yr My wife has an old car she can't part with; she just said last night I might have to put a few dollars in "bessie" to keep her going for awhile. Granted she has purchased a newer car that she loves but she still drives bessie everyday to work.
