Outrunning serious Christian commitment can take creativity. Spouses can be so . . . . you know . . . . penny pinchy. Say for example you can’t quite fit the new $86,090, 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon coupe into your monthly budget. Creativity might help. To convince her guys, think outside the box. Try this:
- with 0-60 mph in 2.3 seconds feature, tell her, “I’ll never be late to work or Bible study again”
- 808 horse power – “Better witness to car buffs at work”
- “for hard-of-hearing senior citizens we can opt for the 18-speaker, 900 watt audio system”
- “to enjoy nature and be rapture ready, we can add the $4,995 optional sunroof”
- if all else fails, use the deprived child/victim plea: “I’ve never had an eight-speed automatic tranny with manual-shift mode”
- “I’ll put my drag strip winnings in church”
- “I’ll stop playing the lottery: I’ll start reading my Bible every day”
- “Can we give our church an IOU for our tithe and offering for the next 5 years? They are understanding people” – Dodge car facts from RUMBLE SEAT Dan Neil
Suppose the wife wants to buy an extravagant, high fashion dress from Paris. You want the new car. She suggests a compromise–keep the dress in the garage.
