With 0% Financing and a Surplus of
New 2003 Models, There's Never Been
a Better Time to Fuck Frank Haskins
Between ultra-low interest rates and the economy going
into the shitter, now is the time for the Average Joe
to get a great deal on a new car. But when you're
Frank Haskins, even a buyer's market turns into a
royal fuckjob.
With 0-percent financing available, I figured I could finally
realize my life's dream of owning a new car. But the
TV commercials bury the "for qualified buyers only"
bit in the fine print. Thanks to my soon-to-be-ex-wife
and her 17 goddamn charge cards, the dealer informed
me that my official credit rating came back as, please
forgive the technical jargon here, "ass bitch." So,
instead of zero money down, zero-percent interest, and zero
payments for 12 months, I got one enormous
ass-fucking. And I'm not talking about a little
dinner-and-a-movie-first-I-promise-I'll-be-gentle
ass-fucking, I'm talking about an
adult-novelty-store-flagship-dildo-display-model-up-the-hole-sized
screwjob here.
Not only couldn't I get a new car, but the best
interest rate I could get with my "high risk" credit
rating was 17 percent variable. So instead of getting a new
Ford Explorer, I had to settle for trading in the '85
Impala for an '84 Yugo. Plus, I couldn't get any money
on my trade-in and I had to pay the cocksuckers $75
to tow my old turd-with-wheels to the dealership. Then
when I tried to whittle down the sticker price on the
"new" car, they counter-offered with throwing in a
rustproofing package for only another 500 bucks above
sticker. Given that my "new" car has 140,000 miles on
it, I suspect that I may have gotten my dirt road
paved on that one, if you know what I mean.
Figured I'd recuperate from the damage at my favorite
watering hole with a few Boilermakers. But before I
even got the chance to throw one back, the goddamn
owner of the place booted me because my "Euro-trash
Edsel" was leaking oil all over his parking lot.
As I sat in the cab of the truck that was towing me
home, I reflected upon those inspirational words,
"When the going gets tough, the tough fuck Frank
Haskins."
