Lexus Derangement Syndrome
Our Lexus dealers are running those wonderful holiday gift suggestion ads again, where a big red bow adorns the new car in the driveway.
How can a man be clever enough to be able to afford a Lexus, yet stupid enough to pick one out for his wife, apparently sight unseen. There is no need to have her pick her own model, colors, and features. And of course, there is no need to comparison shop at the Mercedes dealership. Chances are good he'll be sleeping in that new Lexus.
This is standard TV fare, though, portraying most husbands like Chester Riley, Ralph Kramden, Tony Soprano, or Homer Simpson.

The LME would be pissed if I chose her next car without her having ANY input.
