April Fool on Me

April 1, 2020 10:12am CST
My husband has been thinking of buying a new car in June or sometime during the summer. We will trade in our sedan for some other sedan, but he doesn’t know which car he wants, yet. I, on the otherhand, have one in mind and mentioned it to him half jokingly off and on since last year. We discussed it this morning during our exercise session. I want the car in the photo. We looked it up online and Bentley has stopped manufacturing new cars due to the virus. It doesn’t matter, because hubs told me since he’s not allowed to have a boat, I’m not allowed to have that car. I better start looking online for other than those cars. Drat!

The perfect April fool joke would have been to give your husband some keys and say here's your boat! Bad I know.

You won't be able to put your stuff in the car when you leave Florida. One bad advantage.

It has a back seat and a good size trunk when the top is up. Besides, we fly!

@jstory07 IF we got it, we’d ship it back and forth. We leave our older car in Florida and this year was the first time we shipped our “good” car down. It’s nice having two cars instead of just one.

He needs a boat so you have something to go out in when you are in Florida let him get a boat then maybe you can have your car you want.

It will be a win-win game if her husband will get any boat. While she gets that very shiny shimmering car

Besides the fact that I am not getting it, the dealership here has 2020 models in stock, and is open by appointment only. Of course I would want a 2021 model.

@DianneN They will be like gold dust next year if this lock down goes on for six months! Once your husband has chosen his boat then I am sure he will oblige! Just think of the benefits of that. You will be able to go catch your own lunch! I am sure they must sell padded gloves to protect your manicured hands!

Cars cannot flot on water and a boat cannot run on a road. Either way you will have to sacrifice one of the feature to get a transportation vehicle

A car loses value per day, the moment it is bought. You'd better wait until this health crisis is over, then you could buy one brand new.
