Even Murdoch's minions cannot deny it

So a friend posted an article from the other New York paper.  

Seems basic accounting is coming in vogue again.  Buckets with holes in the bottom are bad vessels.  Having spent an unholy amount of money on cars this past year I strongly agree: cars are a drain on resources.

Honestly.  As durable goods go, cars suck.  In a year we've dealt with a transmission, bearings, brakes and head gaskets.  We had one car die and another have a heart attack.  

If only it were easier to get across the river.

oh, we could manage without a car just fine...but that July road trip to MT would take slighly longer on Frenchie and Sir Walter, and camping trips would take a LOT more planning...and your folks might check us into a loony bin...

cars are a luxury that some peole seem to have mightily confused with a necessity...and who ever heard of a free luxury item?
