| 30. absolutely - we were never given any choice |
|
I'd love to be able to take a sledgehammer to that piece of shit car I have to spend so much to own and may some day likely get me killed by some shitheaded bad driver I have to share the crappy falling apart roads with. Us little people don't own cars just because we enjoy driving so much we're willing to spend nearly as much (or even as much or more) than we have to pay to keep a roof over our heads for fuck's sake - we don't have any damn choice.
