My Colleagues Drive Mercedes

My colleagues drive BMW’s and Mercedes I drive a jalopy from the 1980’s They think they’re so much cooler than me though only I drive worry-free They pay $1,500 a month just for the car not to mention insurance and premium gas While I paid for my beater long ago and it runs fine on recycled vegetable oil My colleagues used to look down on me ‘til I drove that jalopy ‘cross Russia nearly free ~ on a half-gallon of Sovietsky-era whiskey

Lol one thing for sure Gershon I probably know who has more money in the bank and it isn't the folks driving the expensive foreign car it is the smarter one that is frugal and knows their is no value in depreciating cars that when repaired need a home equity loan to fix lol. Give me that jalopy I am secure in my self image and do not need to impress anyone but me...
