Sports car / gas mileage analogy needed
 
I'm at a loss for a good analogy. Help me out.

"Buying a sports car and worrying about gas mileage is like..."


I posed this question to a friend and her response was:

"...falling off a cliff and worrying about chipping your nail polish."

This is okay, but not exactly ideal. Can anyone come up with a better one?

Is like eating steak/lobster/mashed potatoes/apple pie and worrying about the calories in your glass of coke.

DjSquall 07-26-2014 09:26 PM

...is like hitting yourself in the face with a hammer and expecting it not to hurt

Tadpole 07-26-2014 09:56 PM

Grabbing a bag of Lays potato chips and only eating one.

fire165 07-27-2014 02:10 AM

Is like ordering a Double cheese burger with fries biggie size, and an order of diet coke.

OMG I have never understood the logic on that one. Can someone please tell me what the appeal is to having your wheels look like octagons?

TheBoomSpoon 07-27-2014 09:17 AM

Kinda like dating a weight-lifter chick. Gross!

Saying you don't care about MPG because you drive a Z is like saying you won't pick up the 20 dollar bill that fell out of your pocket because you drive a sports car

Flame away lol

Worrying about mileage on a sports car is like worrying about gaining muscle at the gym

Mt Tam I am 07-27-2014 01:35 PM

Worrying about your super model date is going to order the lobster.

KrisL 07-28-2014 08:39 AM

Buying a sports car and worrying about gas mileage is like buying the extra large combo meal at grease burger and getting a diet coke.

Aviator44 07-28-2014 09:40 AM

Different format but same concept.

Sports cars are about smiles per gallon, not miles per gallon.

Debiandog 07-28-2014 10:49 AM

When I was a bit younger, I was on a dock and a guy came up to refuel his twin engine (big blocks) supercharged cigar boat. It was AMAZING! Only god knows what something like that costs but for some reason I felt the need to ask him, "Hey what kind of MPG do you get with that thing?" He said the words I will never forget.

"No idea. Because when you have a machine like this you do not worry about things like that" :tup:

...is like paying for a breast augmentation and whining about an increase in annual bra costs.

DavidZ370 07-29-2014 08:00 PM

Is like saying that they will find MH17

b15 07-29-2014 08:36 PM

.........is like buying a Prius to go fast

HEK 07-31-2014 08:46 AM

is like being a heroine addict and worrying about the needle marks on your arm :ugh2:

Ed_Collins 07-31-2014 02:16 PM

Thanks for all the replies. I can definitely use some of them the next time someone asks me what my MPG is.

These are probably my four favorites, in no particular order:

Buying a sports car and worrying about your miles per gallon is a little bit like...

... paying for breast augmentation and whining about an increase in annual bra costs.
... going skydiving and worrying about how your hair looks.
... worrying your supermodel date is going to order the lobster.
... a heroine addict worrying about the needle marks on his arm.

UNKNOWN_370 08-01-2014 10:15 PM

Is like f%#king a really fat chic n worrying if ur friends think she has a ugly face.

It's like asking yourself if you're gay after you boned that transsexual.

It's like worrying about having HIV after doing that dope head.

It's like getting a random chick pregnant n u get mad she wants child support.

This one is for politically correct.

It's like going to a 5 star restaurant and being mad about the check.


This last one is for the old skool members. Lol

It's like saying non-aspirated rushing through a post and Kenchan not making fun of you. Lmao.

Yes it was me.:happydance:

edk370 08-01-2014 10:44 PM

Having a hot g/f and worrying that other guys will hit on her.
