"We’ve long wanted a larger dining room. But bumping out the back of the house is too expensive. We could, instead, ram it in. Drive the car, at top speed, into the dining room. Its trunk could be built-in buffet space. All-American, with a sporty, permanent tailgate theme."
This is a story of selfishness and greed, of self-centeredness, envy and the ignorant folly of a person too short-sighted to realize she should count herself lucky because her college education didn’t have to be paid for with the milk of a goat. The tale could be called: I Can No Longer Afford to Drive My Car.
Oh, how are the mighty fallen now .
