Clearly, having something more responsible means I should try to justify a second, more irresponsible car. Right?

That the equivalent of 1 responsible car if you do the math.

If I could do that, I’d have a Raptor and a Mustang (or STi).

Or try to see if you can buy two cars with $6,500 CAD.

Never trust something that can lick its own butthole.

Granted, she knows that my jacket being put on means walks (yay) and that me wearing my uniform means Double Dog Jail (boo).

I’ve got six irresponsible cars and a moped. I’m sure you can manage to convince yourself you can do it.

My last job was at a distributed database company. Our product kept, by default, 3 copies of each piece of data to reduce the opportunity for data loss.

The company joke was that I needed 3 Jeeps so I could have at least 1 running at any given point in time .

There is a lot merit to this. By having two irresponsible cars, you should always have atleast one working for doing car things when needed. Unless they're Italian, then you need three.

Scary currently has his Hairdresser Mobile and FiST. Never getting rid of the NA and I'll keep the FiST for a good while. All that being said it looks like Scary's next car may be a LS swapped Porsche 944 for track/fuck around street car. So I agree with your reasoning.

Minimum, and probably a Volvo for insurance.

My wife has been reading a book on dog psychology. Apparently wild cainines  are better at problem solving than domesticated dogs. The running theory is that part of the evolutionary divergence is domesticated dogs have learned to view humans as problem solving tools. 

Why work hard when all you have to do is look cute and make these weird furless bipedal dogs do things for you?

A fun car is still cheaper than therapy...

I have liquidated everything but a Tundra. Driving most any small/fun car more than the Tundra will save gas; possibly a lot of gas.

Of course the world just got sick and threw a temporary wrench (10mm, of course) in my plan, but gas will sky rocket again, I’m sure of it.

I also did some technical writing for them, so I worked closely  with whoever you’re describing, I’m sure. Luc or Eric?

Oh! Yeah, she was great to work with. In fact I strongly recommended her hire when we were interviewing, and was tremendously grateful she was able to take away my responsibilities in that area.

Please tell her John says hi.
