'Driving' Me Crazy

So I'm currently looking for a used vehicle and I'm in shock at how many miles people put on their cars!

What the hell is wrong with you people?? Do you EVER stay at home??

- 1995 Honda with 190,000 miles! That's 13,500 miles a year!

-2001 Chevy with 161,000 miles! That's 20,000 miles a year!

-1997 Subaru with 219,000 miles! That's 18,000 miles a year!

-1999 Chevy with 231,000 miles! That's 23,000 miles a year!

-----------------------

These are REAL ADS in My area folks!!!

How in the hell do you put on 23,000 miles every year?? That's over 60 miles a day!! And I know damn well you didn't drive it every single day for the past 10 years! What could you possibly need to do that is so important to feel the need to drive that much all the time??

Are you aware that the distance around the earth at the equator is about 25,000 miles?

So each year you have a car, you basically drive around the f-ing EARTH!!!!!!!! Now take that car going around the earth times a billion cars or so!! Now if that's not putting on a hell-of-a-lot of miles, then I don't know what is!! I'm lucky if We put on 4 or 5 thousand miles a year! And I live out in the country far away from the city and the movie place, and the grocery stores, and the malls. I should be the one with HIGH mileage, but instead, all you pricks who live 3 blocks from everything manage to still put on way more than I do. To put it another way, if we had a race around the earth, by the time you crossed the finish line, I would be FOUR YEARS BEHIND YOU!!!

Does this possibly prove My theory about all you dumb asses living in the rat race of life?? I think so!!! Your never home to enjoy YOUR FAMILY ... YOUR LIFE!!! Constantly going going going for NO reason at all. Gotta put in extra hours at work, gotta get the kids in advanced kickboxing, gotta get My clothes to the cleaners, gotta get My hair done, gotta gotta gotta until your dead and buried from the stresses of your life and nothing to show for it. Sit your ass down and have some Country Time Lemonade for Christ Sake!!!!!!!!!

So I would like to thank my pleasant society that I'm forced to live with for making a simple task of purchasing a nice used vehicle a total pain in the ass because every vehicle out there is probably run into the ground with all the God damn driving all of you do!! PRICKS!!!

I'm going to go look at bicycles!!! Screw you all!

Vehicle Identification

We all know what a vehicle identification number (VIN) is. I'd like to introduce you to a new system that might just help show how stupid people are.

It would be the first letter on your license plate. That first letter would let the rest of the world know just how smart or stupid you really are. It would also eliminate people driving fancy cars that only have them to enlarge their EGO's, while owing the bank tons of money.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's how it works:

If your first letter starts with F, that would mean that your car is financed and YOU do not own your car, the BANK does.

If your first letter starts with L, it means your leasing your vehicle (Which I personally can't think of anything much stupider other than drinking bottled water at the same time).

If your first letter starts with P, it means you vehicle is BOUGHT AND PAID FOR IN FULL.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There you go .. that's it, simple, but effective. This way all you $40,000 Ford Excursion drivers out there with a F on your plate will be telling the world that "You have a fancy vehicle, but are too stupid and dumb to be able to pay for it". In other words ... a status symbol. Go get a Chevette until you can afford something better.

Also, if you're driving around in a 1996 Toyota Corolla with a P on your plate, we will all respect the fact that you OWN your vehicle, and while it's not a Hummer H2, you're better off this way.

And also, if there is a Hummer H2 driving around with a P on your plate, then guess what? Good for you ... it's paid for!! Maybe you're rich, maybe you love cars, maybe you're compensating for small genitalia. It doesn't matter!! What matters is YOU paid for YOUR vehicle one way or another. This ' helps' eliminate those deadbeats who go out and buy everything under the sun with credit, only to fall flat on their butt and want ME to bail them out when they cry for bankruptcy!! You know .. people with snob noses and no money ... YUPPIES!!

Also it would encourage people to buy what they can afford, and with the money they save not going to interest, eventually they can get a newer, nicer car. What a theory huh???

One last note, personalized license plates would only interfere with the labeling system, therefore they are not allowed. Besides that ... they're STUPID!!




Todays RBV: Matthew 16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

Here we have a passage saying that the people who lived with Jesus will not die until the Son of man comes. In other words, Jesus will return before their lifetime ends. SORRY .. kinda missed that one didn't ya??

Vehicles

Here's another thing people buy that I don't think they have a clue on just how expensive it really is. Vehicles.

Let's suppose you have a $15,000 used vehicle on a loan from the bank, a 2005 Toyota Camry. I didn't want to go outrageously high on the price even though I'm sure most of you are closer to the 20-30 thousand range.

The interest on a loan for 5 years would be about $2500.00 total, or $500 per year.

Insurance would be about $800 per year

Depreciation of the vehicle over the 5 years would be $10,000 OR $2000/year

Repairs and maintenance with oil changes and such would be about $300/year

Gas at $2.00/gallon (that's cheap!) with 15,000 yearly mileage, at 20 mpg = $1500/year

Yearly license plate tags about $100/year.

Add that all up and you have $5200/year for your car. That's $14 each and every day.

Now take into account most of you have at least 2 cars, that's $28 each and every day.

Think about what you do with your cars on a given day. Is it worth that much?? Around $30 bucks a day to go back and forth to work and maybe a trip to Walmart?? Holy crap!! Not to mention the fact that your car is LOSING value each and everyday that passes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now lets do the same thing with a different car, a 1999 Toyota Camry, paid in full.

Value - about $4000.00

Interest on the loan would be $0.00 (it's paid for!)

Insurance would be $130/year.

Depreciation over 5 years would be about $1000.00 or $200/year.

Repairs would be about $500/year.

Gas would be the same as above vehicle at about $1500/year.

Yearly license plate tags would be about $50/year.

Now add that all up and you have $2380/year. That's $6.50 per day for your car.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hmmmmm, $14.24/day VS $6.52/day for the same thing. A savings of $2817 per year .. on just ONE vehicle. A frickin' trip to Disneyland for Christ's sakes!!! Take that times two vehicles, (the norm), and you have $5634.00 in saving per year!!

This is why I think most of you out there are FRICKIN' NUTS!!!!!!!! You pay over DOUBLE what you need to for your cars! And why? Because of the 'status symbol'? Because of that new car smell?

Both vehicles will provide you with good, safe, reliable transportation. Both vehicles will get you to work everyday. Both vehicles will be sitting in Walmart's parking lot having carts banged into it. Both vehicles will sit in the sun and bake everyday while your at work. Both vehicles will take you on your family vacation out of state each year. The only difference is ONE of them will cost you twice as much! Please note that I used conservative figures too, the difference would be even more dramatic if you used different vehicles.

It would be one thing if vehicles GAINED value (like a house), but they don't!! They drop like a rock! So WHY take a loan out on something that loses money??? I'll tell you why, YOUR STUPID, it's the American way to have this 'vehicle status' etched into our head. Need I say I think that the majority of people with vehicles today are STUPID!!!!

And lastly, some moron out there will say that the cheaper vehicle must only have liability insurance on it since it's so cheap. OF COURSE it only has liability on it!! Why would you pay a grand a year to insure something that's only worth 4 grand??? Did you happen to notice that the price difference between the 2 insurance rates for the 5 years is about what the vehicle is worth? In other words, IF you have the misfortune of totally wrecking your car, you can easily go buy another one with the money you saved by not buying a 'status symbol'. And chances are (like most people), it's NOT going to happen, therefore, you now have the best thing in the world ... money in the bank!!!

Wake up people and please for the love of our Savior Jesus Christ, quit being so damn stupid!!!
