Great...Just Great

So, I've finally come to the conclusion that my death trap Ford Fuckus simply must go, right? Sending in the final payment tomorrow. Trading it in...buying a real grown up and responsible car. Then Paul calls me to share this great news.

Of course, being the conspiracy theorist that I am, I'm choosing to believe that this is a big government ploy to get people to not buy a Prius because (a) it's a foriegn car that is selling quite well - some areas have nine month waiting lists and (b) the less gas consumed the less tax dollars they get. Did you know that 19% of the price of gas is sheer tax?

So f it. I can't be in any worse shape than I am now. I've had about 10 recalls on the Fuckus. It's left me stranded in awful Philly traffic at 5pm on a Friday...dead humidity of summer...Eh, that's a whole other story that wasn't funny at the time but is hilarious now. And besides, this problem has happened in .04% of the cars sold.

I'll take my chances.
