Who else here is buying their SO a new Lexus for Christmas..
I tell ya, I was ina quandary, a quandry... I could not figure out what to get Mr.s WCGreen... I thought about jewlrey... Blah Blah Blah... Every kiss begins with K... Fuck that noise... I'll go to a pawn shop and get me some bling before I step foot in a mall type Jewelry store...

Anyway...

Then there was the vacuum cleaner idea but that quickly went away cause I want to have sex again one of these years and I know if I bought another Vacuum ....

So I was watching the Tube... And lo and behold, the guy on the tube was getting ready to buy his wife a Lexus... Why didn;t I think about that... I mean, a Lexus... I might even get sex before the decade is over....

8. And then you can move to a gated community.....
...that Lexus will be the key to opening doors for both of you. You may even be allowed to enter the domain of...The Country Club....

Just think, you'll be accepted, because people will know you are worthy by what material objects you own...

We have one country club near us that is in pristine shape. It pisses us off that the rich MF's can afford not to play often and my spouse loves to play golf, but we cannot afford the place..nor do I want to when so few play.

17. I don't get those Lexus car commercials...
I mean, who exactly are they marketing to? I'm pretty sure that 95-97% of the people that are watching tv at the moment one of those commercials come on cannot afford a Lexus.

Boggles the mind...

"Then there was the vacuum cleaner idea but that quickly went away cause I want to have sex again one of these years and I know if I bought another Vacuum ...."

I hear that Dyson sucks.

25. Well, we bought each other a Toyota Sienna last year.
We didn't put a bow on it or anything ... and we were desperate for a new car. (It's a great car -- I call it "the livingroom.") I wouldn't really like it if he made a purchase like that without talking to me about it.

And I don't want diamonds, either. I don't wear the one I have. At this stage in our lives, it can be hard to think of things to give each other. There's nothing we really want, except for the perfect place to build our dream house in TN and all the money required to do that. :shrug:

If more men loved their wives as much as you love Mrs. Redstone, there would be fewer divorces.

30. You speak the truth. And it works both ways. When we were poor,
and BOY were we poor when she first moved here, there was NEVER a complaint from her. We worked together, then and now.

We've also worked through serious health issues, physical on my part and PTSD-related on her part (she was hideously abused as a child), and, of course, the sustaining reality that I'm basically a lunatic.

But damn, have we had some fun. And still do.

Thanks for the compliment.

39. Every year I see these commercials
and every year it confuses me.
Can I assume because that because Lexus runs this campaign every year that some people actually do this? If people do this, are they buying the car outright? Paying the downpayment, and giving their SO a car, and a new bill to pay each month?

42. The people in these commercials are obviously
wealthy enough to buy what ever they like...

After all, they are sooo good looking... They must be rich...

My concern is the bow...

47. If my husband bought me a car for christmas... I'd kick his ass!
What on earth would give him the idea that he has the right to decide what kind of car I'll be driving? I don't care how much disposable income we might have... it would piss me off!

That being said, my husband knows better.:evilgrin:
