Jeep vs. Ontario
"Just to spite Gdubya, I had planned to save my incentive check and spend it all in CANADA on vacation in August visiting my family. However, my local auto mechanic had other plans - my Jeep wouldn't pass inspection without $550 (out of $600) in brake pads, transmission work, and inspection. The other $50 will probably go towards a new battery for the Jeep too, so it is in tip-top shape for the drive to Lake Huron, up in Ontario (see pic)... I can't wait! George - your check wasn't nearly enough for me to recover or catch a breather from this ridiculous economy! Thanks for nothing!!!"

Well why don't you give George back your money then if it was not enough for you.

Man, you are so ungrateful. Go ahead and leave this "ridiculous" economy and spend 3 weeks in Somalia. I'd like to see your perspective when you return. You will never be happy in life with an attitude like your own. Too bad.
