No trouble attracting attention.
As we all hungrily (airs faced squarely in the air) await the Super Bitter Bowl today, to satiate our appetites for the predictably highest rated program of the year, let us look to one of the more interesting rivalries out there.
First up is the the “Lambo” as it is affectionately called, has a mysterious allure. With its aerodynamic lines and outrageous colors, it has built a brand of almost impossible speed and price. The Lambo is the Flash of Superhero vehicles. The possibilities are almost endless, with speeding tickets waiting to happen almost immediately out of the garage, to possibility of running it into a tree while trying to figure out how to shift from second gear to third instead of second to fifth. There is the anxiety of taking the car on a spontaneous cruise on a country road, only to realize that you forgot to fill up its gas tank, to the possibility that you could get a scratch at the car wash, while getting its daily car wash. The worst fate of all being the scary moment of a car that can go 200 mph easily having to go only 15 in stop and go traffic on the I-5. Such potential wasted, just like all those pizzas at Pizza Hut that get thrown out at the end of the night when they could be sitting in my fridge being lovingly appreciated, right before I devour them.

No trouble in traffic.
Then, there is the Tank, affectionately called Tanks. The complete opposite of the Lambo, this vehicle is raw power at its finest. The tank is not fast, aerodynamic, or beautifully colored. It is ugly, plodding and heavy. Its wheels more closely resemble a bike than a car, but this vehicle is the Hulk of Superhero vehicles. Unlike the Lambo, the tank is an almost indestructible force, starring in such movies as Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, to Goldeneye. Thanks to it’s raw power we’ve seen it wreck entire cities and intimidate even the most burly of men. And unlike the Lambo this vehicle will never be stopped by even the most infuriating traffic jams.
So which vehicle do you choose? The Lambo, that can outrun its problems, or the Tank, that can run over its problems? The Flash or the Hulk? Which one is prettier to you?
ARRRGGGHHHHHHH

I personally do not like to run away from my problems, but take them head on like a tank, so call me Tank Girl if you wish.

I will call you Tank Girl. Perhaps you could be the lead in the next one? And make sure the next one is better than the previous one? And I for one, like to run from my problems, so maybe a Lambo would be good for me.

I agree with you on this, but I do like that they have a Bjork song it, other than that, it’s garbage.

I didn’t know they had a Bjork song, because I didn’t see it. I just heard that it was bad so I never saw it.

That makes a ton of sense. Why would you want to see something so bad? I can trust the thousands that saw it and said it was awful.

I saw a Lambo once. Its driver tried (please read it as TRIED DESPERATELY) to get it over a speed bump (sooooo hilarious! I usually know to behave, but I just stood and stared and snickered. Openly).
A tank would simply knock the speed bump right back down into the ground. So yea. Tanks. For sure.
LikeLike
Yeah, I guess the allure of Lambo’s is the speed they can go on the open road, but anywhere in a normal city setting sounds hazardous. Why would you want to have one of those?

I’m not sure. With my driving skills, I’d probably have the Lambo scratched up the first time I took it out. Then again with the tank, I’d probably have everybody else’s cars scratched up the first time I took it out.

I’d go with a Lamborghini because I’m guessing it is better for attracting the ladies. Plus what kind of ladies would a tank attract?

I’m guessing the kind of ladies a tank would attract are ones that want to break stuff, which would be kind of fun, I guess.

I have learned through bitter experience that it is a mistake to love your vehicle. You’re just asking for a fender bender or worse. That might make you think that I would choose the the tank,which is obviously less vulnerable to such problems and is arguably better for a few battle scars. However, that is not the case, as my true dream vehicle is a big old ugly pick up truck. Thank you for making me even more bitter about my cliche-ridden SUV. Your work here is done.

Trust me. I’ve had pretty low key vehicles and they have lasted. I’ve never needed to have a fancy vehicle, just one that works and I find the no frills ones seem to be in the shop less.
LikeLike
I don’t need frills, I just prefer a vehicle with a little character. But in the shop less is a good characteristic. Of course, they’re ALL in the shop sometimes. One can’t help but be bitter about one’s vehicle, I suppose. They are never a good investment, unless you are investing in something to increase your own bitterness. Waaaaaiit a minute…
LikeLike
Yeah, vehicles are kind of a weird investment. As soon as you drive them off the lot, they are worth less and just about all of them are costing you twice. Once for the payment, once for the maintenance. Breaks, gas, oil changes. They never stop costing you money.
