The argument: BMW vs. Mercedes
The setting: Bowling
“Dude, you can go first. So I think I’m going with the Mercedes.”
“I don’t want to go first. I’m still trying to find a ball. Why Mercedes? I told you BMW was the way to go.”
“Oh, good gravy. How hard is it to find a ball your fingers fit in? Hurry up!”
“Calm down. Why Mercedes? Where have you been shopping? Did you even drive a BMW?”
“Of course I did. Geez, you’re slow. And I already put your name in the computer. I don’t know how to change it. Why are you so pro-BMW anyway?”
“I like the way they look. Sleek. And the headlights are meaner.”
“THAT’S why you like them? It’s purely aesthetic? That is not a good reason to buy a car. It needs to run. It needs to be reliable. How it looks isn’t going to save you in a crash. Good, you have a ball. Now go.”
“Sweet! Opening with a strike, fool! Looks DO matter, you know. I just think BMW’s project a younger way of thinking. Mercedes are pretty, too. But I see them as more for older people. BMW’s are perfect for the young professional. I’m sure they are just as reliable as Mercedes. Good job.”
“Whatever, it’s a spare. Young professionals, huh? “
“Yeah, sure. Chicks dig BMW’s, too. And I think they’re cheaper. YES! That’s two…”
“Okay, cheaper makes sense. But I don’t need chicks to dig my car. I already have a girlfriend. Damn, a 7/10 split? I suck at these.”
“You got this. All I’m saying is that if I was in the market to buy a nice, high end, German engineered car, I would go with BMW. See? Told you you had this.”
“Yea, yea, yea. I guess I’ll go by the BMW dealer when we leave here. And then decide. I really liked the Mercedes, though. It had heated seats.”
“Oh, so aesthetics aren’t a good reason but heated seats are? You’re goofy. That’s a turkey. I thought you said you had already driven a BMW?”
“I did. It was Teresa’s dad’s car. But he’s not a young professional.”
