Well, the exact comment from a guy at work, who is a ice enough bloke, but
with one of those annoying nasal voices, was "How can you drive that thing?"
This is the 40 year old man, that still lives with his mum, and sleeps with
his pussy cat and a hot water bottle I'll add (NOT KIDDING).
His car is a second hand Mondeo on a 02 plate, about which he told me a
prolonged story about how someone "damaged" his rear bumper, and he put it
into the Ford dealer, who repaired it under warranty, and it came back
having had a factory fault fixed (for free) to do with the hand brake (and
he grumbled that it didn't work the same, and took it to 2 other Ford
dealers to get them to make it work as it did), and a "blemish" on the
bumper.
Now I looked at said bumper/valence, and it was a sea of pristine silver, I
couldn't see a single smut, but he inisted that if you look at it in the
right light, it stuck out like a sore thumb, so I wandered around, peering
and prodding, and I couldn't see the blemish.. So went into take the ****
mode instead.
And it reminded me why I drive my Landrover.. It'll NEVER be perfect,
probably wasn't when it was new (which was a long time ago), and never will
be.. So I don't care if it gets another 10 "blemishes" during "play time"...
That'd be dents then..LOL.. But I can tow, pull, play offroad, not worry
about what state the road is in and it now has 8 seats as well.
Also, my insurance is probably less than 1/4 of his, and parts about the
same.. OK, he got me on fuel consumption, but I got him on getting thru the
floods we get around here with the motor still running...
On the flip side, a BIG Nigerian guy came up to me from the next shift,
slapped me on the back (which almost had me flat on my nose) and said "I
LOVE YOUR CAR MAN, I LOVE REALLY YOUR CAR"... Nuff said
Also had 4 employees at the same company ask me if I'll sell it to them...
NO, it's MINE
That's why I can drive "That thing".. So that's some reasons why we put up
with it all
