When you leave this earth and your expensive refrigerator behind to stand
before
your Creator, how will you explain it to Him why you spent so much money on
a refrigerator in the face of so many others' unmet basic needs?

And what about my impact wrench, after all I could just use my Snap-On
ratchet set. Oh, crap, I've a Snap-On ratchet set, I should be useing
a Craftsman, right? No... Can't be, I'd have to use a Master Mechanic
from True-Value to be acceptable to my creator...

Wait, what kind of ratchet sets does WalMart sell? That would be OK,
since they are made in China, and that means that all of the money
would then be going to support those poor Chinese, would that be OK?

Maybe I should not be using a ratchet set at all, I'm sure the creator
really didn't expect me to get one. Maybe just a single adjustable
cresent wrench? or a Monkey wrench? Just one, would that be OK?

I have a Rotary Lift in my garage, just for my automobile hobby. Will
the creator hate me for that? I suppose I could get away with a floor
jack, and jack stands... Wait, maybe I should have skipped the jack
stands and used old concrete blocks. OK, let's try that:

Click, grunt, click grunt... Those $50 Hi-Lift jacks seem to work
almsot as well as my two post lift did. OK, it's high enough. Now to
slide that set of blocks under the frame. Get those wheels off, wow,
bit hard with a Monkey wrench. OK, got them off. Now the oil change,
just slide under there...

Crick...

Wonder what that was?

Damn, that oil drain plug is tight. Damned Monkey wrench is rounding
off the corners. OK, now I've a good grip on it, gotta give it a good
twist.

Crick...

Crack...

Womp...

Damn, this car is sure heavy when it's sitting on my chest.
Fortunately I'm blacking out and don't feel it as much as when it
first fell on me.

Oh, hello creator... Funny meeting you here. I was what? Stupid, you
said?

For sale:

One really nice shop with:
Rotary Two Post lift, 10K.
Jack stands.
Impact wrenchs.
Snap-On ratchet sets.
Some broken concrete blocks.
One bent Hi-Lift jack.

Contact: my estate.

So buying a lesser car than a Jaguar stupidly endangers one's life?

Actually buying a lesser car than a Hummer H1 stupidly endangers one's
life... That's why I have two of them...

Is a Jaguar a lesser car than a Hummer H1?

So now we know what Hummer H1 buyers should tell their Creator.

At least we won't be meeting any creators early due to collisions!

When one enters eternity is of much less moment than where one spends
it.

Anyone who spent 40 grand on a refrigerator needs to worry.
