Info on Cars...Or Is It??

This is just funny to me - I wrote this rant some time ago, but it really still rings true when you think about it. I wish everyone thought this way....


Just a little bit of info on cars- feel me on this one:

(clearing throat)

If you change the engine, but don't change the tires, how new of a vehicle are you really working with?? Putting high mileage oil into a new car does not make any sense - a new approach is needed to make it work properly. If you keep bringing old parts from the PREVIOUS vehicle, why would one expect the new car to work? Why have a new car at all?? If the old car gave you MANY problems and you are indeed grateful to be rid of it and it's constant complications, then BE HAPPY that lemon is SOMEONE ELSE'S problem to worry about.

Contrary to popular belief, new cars can break down quickly due to misuse because the are mostly controlled by computers, therefore rendered SMARTER but also less likely to respond to a quick fix or short glance under the hood. Something as minor as not putting oil in a new car could cause MAJOR problems and shut for whole vehicle down. So, constant care is needed. The old car may have been okay with sporadic care because of it's make, model and year...and perhaps it required less because it didn't always come through for you when you needed it. Maybe it ran OUT on you when you needed it most, so it took whatever it got at the time, perhaps out of guilt...BUT you are working with a CLASSIER make and MODEL now, that is ready for new roads and terrain that the old car was never capable of, or even had the BUILD to attempt.

Trust and believe that as smart as the new car may be, and as much as it may tend to adapt itself to the owner - sometimes the fit isn't right. And if the owner brings the past troubles of the old car into the running life of the new car, chances are the life of the new vehicle may be shorter than previously expected...And Armor All can't fix everything.

But I'm just a girl, so I shouldn't know much about cars, right? Now read the above again but apply it to relationships and tell me if this didn't make perfect sense....Just food for thought.
