I thought this would be an aproprite thread to continue an old one...The SO
vs. The MG. When I told my fiancee that I had purchased some parts to get my
MG
running that amounted to about $80, she was incensed. Why, she wondered,
couldn't
you have spent that money on me? Oddly enough, I didn't want to mention that I
had
spent double for her Christmas present. She went on to say that I better enjoy
my
car now, since when we were married, WE were going to sell it and buy something
reasonable! At this point in her tirade, I was searching for the receipt for
her
Christmas present, since it was going back and lowering my credit card bill.
I have no problem with selling my car for someone IF IT IS NECESARY.
However, it isn't, and neither was her attitude. So now I guess I'm like the
clutch
when it's pedal goes in - disengaged. However, I'm proud to say that I stood
up for
what I believe is right. In this case, the MG wins, and I win too. If I can't
find
someone who loves my MGB as much as I do, I'll get a cat.
Speaking of cats, has anyone seen the new Honda commercial where that
cat
climbs on the roof of the Honda and sings? Good stuff, very enjoyable for us
car/cat
enthusiasts. But, I digress. Thanks for listening, and I'm now seeking an
appropriate cat, short haired preferred!
