And a panoramic sunroof so she can gaze at the stars while I cry myself to sleep over the economic devastation.
Thanks to these tariffs, I had to endure:
A complimentary espresso at the dealership loungeA sales rep who called me “boss” 14 times
A 0.9% APR that felt like a slap in the face of fiscal responsibilityAnd worst of all… she picked the premium color. The one that costs $595 extra. I begged her to choose “dealer white.” She chose “Midnight Sapphire.”
I’m not saying tariffs are ruining marriages, but I am saying I now have to park next to her car and feel inadequate.
Anyway, just wanted to warn the rest of you. If you’re thinking of buying a car, beware: Tariffs will force you to upgrade to the trim with the massage seats.
Stay strong out there.
