So if you're rich and you don't get your tax breaks extended
Are you going to cry because you bought your significant other a Lexus for Christmas with all that money you thought you were going to save?

Another question for the rest, have you ever or will you ever buy your loved one a Lexus for Christmas?

1. What if you steal one?
I've heard they're cheaper that way, if you make sure to repaint them and remove the original license plates.

7. so that means you are plutocrat scum deserving to be against the wall
once the revolution comes to some around here...

FWIW I don't think I have bought my wife a gift over $50 for a decade. Certainly could, but when we share the same bank account it's a bit pointless. Same from her to me, natch.

9. Nothing would anger me more than seeing a Lexus parked in my driveway
Edited on Sun Dec-05-10 04:29 AM by TwilightGardener
on Christmas morning. Because it would mean my husband had lost his fool mind...and we'd be eating ramen for years...

11. If I'm gonna buy a 50k+ car, I'm gonna buy it for myself!
Fuck that 50k gift bullshit.

Something like a new cell phone should suffice.
