Quick Hits Of Wisdom, Knowledge And Snark #932

Cars, Wimmin' and a Life Lesson: Eatgrueldog had a 'meme' on his Blog of Dyslexia asking if the idiot light meant she got '3 wishes' which reminded me of both my first new car and my first new wife.- Both were beautiful, and both had to be dumped. New car. Admittedly I went out on a limb for a pretty and sporty model with leather seats, etc-etc. It was great to look at and fun to drive. I didn't get to drive it often, as the wifely unit commandeered it for her use.- One evening wife complained that the car was hard to handle and was making a 'noise'...would I look at it? I did. A quick visual said all four 'new' Michelin tires were effectively flat. A subsequent trip to the corner gas station confirmed that there was 5# of air in each tire...and the dipstick was DRY. When the mechanic and I quit laughing and wiped the tears from our eyes, we agreed my wife was probably not bright enough to know what a flat tire looked like (much less four of 'em) or what that 'check oil' idiot light meant (check the oil).- I got rid of that car at auction in short order. New wife. Not quite up to the level of 'adding oil' as demonstrated here [attached .gif], she was great to look at and fun to drive, though I didn't get to drive as often as I would have liked.- It took longer, but I eventually got rid of her too. Life lesson. If I ever want that 'new car smell' I'll buy my mistress a leather skirt.
