Lust on five dollars a day

[weaktwos]

For the first time in years, I made a trip to a car dealership to see a car that I want. I felt up a MIni Cooper S today.

Yes, I will learn to drive a manual transmission. Oh yes I will.

I want that little funky rollerskate with a supercharger.

Tonight was a blast. Since the writing teacher is away for a few weeks, a few of the writing die-hards met up at True Love to read some of our work, and hash it out. It was fun.

Some jack poet swung by and we let him share with us. He was an odd duck, kinda cute, with brown thick rimmed specs. He liked to point at his head, like a madman, from time to time to galvanize his thoughts.

His poem. Heh. MORE BAD POETRY!! Rhyming poetry chaps me:

Two four six eight,
You should be stuffed in a crate.
Three five seven nine,
Why do you insist on rhyme?

And he used to be a Nuclear Power Plant Operator. Body by George Clooney; brain by Homer Simpson. I would do him if he promised to only say my name...bitch.

One of my classmates actually thought I was an experienced poet. Hah! I sold her some Enron stock in exchange for her life savings.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
If you get in a accident while driving that tiny eurotrash piece of shit
They'll use the car as the coffin.

Listen, whether you die in a car crash, or die because you faultily wire your bigger, more resiliant car, you're still dead. But at least I died paying less in gas each month.

I'm probably more likely to die while attempting to set a world land speed record on I-5. In that case, they won't have a box small enough to keep my remains in.

And there you have it. At least I'll be smooshed by 6 airbags throughout the car.

Now that I've been subjected to their nauseating website, suffered from sticker shock as well as become sickened overall by the thought of this thing getting in my way on the freeway, I'd like to point out something I find amusing..


gas-guzzling convertible 4-wheeled chick magnet - $7,000

"economical" wind-up toy that looks like a suppository on 4 wheels - $20,000

Lets see.... with gas being approx. $1.60 a gallon, I can purchase 8,125 gallons of gas before we are at an even monetary expenditure. That's 677 tanks of gas - or roughly 14 years worth of gas...

Now, add in all the labor and time you've invested in upgrading your twit-magnet, and repairing the problems it has. Your time is money, too.

Also, do a comparison of purchasing that mercury marauder you spoke of. ;-p

You leave the merc out of this!

Too late, cost-benefit boy. No matter how much my Mini would cost, I will never spend as much money as you have and will have spent on your automobiles, fuel, and insurance.

So thbthbthbthtbhttttt!

[ex-zakh565.livejournal.com]

yeah, well.
You're probably right.

I'm the reason state-mandated insurance exists in California.

Re:

Yes, so we'll agree that I'll be the proud owner of an overpriced suppository, and you'll have several hunks of big american girth in your front yard.

[ex-zakh565.livejournal.com]

I'll have to mow around them.

I think you should paint the cars with a leopard skin print, then let the grass grow around them. They will look like massive cat-beasts, crouched for the kill.

[ex-zakh565.livejournal.com]

oooh. cat-beathtth
you rapthcallion, you.
