Conflicting Car-O-Scopes


Dear Knuckleheads,

I hope you're satisfied with yourselves. You're almost breaking up my marriage after 26 blissful years. I didn't know I wasn't supposed to be driving a Toyota Corolla, I didn't know my "carma" was off, that I was a cheapskate, a wuss and a snob...and neither did my wife. I recently took your Car-O-Scope test and my wife got into my e-mail, and now we both know. She suggested we go to a marriage counselor, but I'm too cheap to spend the money, so I decided to e-mail you guys.

You see, the real dilemma is that my Car-O-Scope suggested I dump the Corolla and get a Dodge Colt Vista. My wife took the test and it told her to dump the Corolla for an Infiniti I30! We only have one Corolla, and one of us will have to be in bad carma. The question is, can an Infiniti-type person find happiness in a Dodge Colt Vista? Or do I also have to dump my wife?

Cheapskate in California
