still on the change
About that change of car I mentioned – we’d just concluded the deal when up steps a guy who wants to sell us extended warranty and insurance to cover the insurance, but he starts the conversation with “congratulations”. I ring our own insurance company to amend the policy details and the customer service lady begins with “congratulations”. Hang on a minute, we haven’t won the car, all we did was part with hard earned cash – if congratulations are in order at all, it’s ours to them for getting us to part with more money than we intended.

Congr- no, that would be cheesy wouldn't it?
So what kind of car is it? Is it brand new? Love a new car smell! One day I will treat myself to another brand-new vehicle.

The congratulations is because you haven't just bought a car, you've bought a lifestyle!

When I hear 'You haven't bought a car, you've bought a lifestyle' I always think, ' IT's bnecause all that money I WAS spending on food and entertainmnet and clothes and travel and stuff is now going to toward the CAR.' So it's more like 'I TRADED my lifestyle for a car.'

he he, no one would could accuse you of being cheesy Ed. It's another jag, but pre-loved and pre-scratched! Don't really think of it as having bought a lifestyle - more a bit of extra cushioning for aging bones! But you're right about what you have to trade to get it.
