Parent's buying decision that pisses you off

Here's an example
I know it's not my money...

but they are trading in this one...


for this one...


same model, same exterior color, same interior color, same wheel size The old one is perfectly fine with low mileage.

tell me your story...

my parents just bought a Impreza yesterday... I don't know why they didn't buy a manual (my dad drives manual and loves it, but mom said the shitty sportshift was the same thing)

After selling their Protege 5 to my sister, my parents were looking at the Matrix. I told them that it was a weak ass car, took my dad to test drive the Matrix, then test drive the Mazda3 right afterwards. Parents were impressed, I did all the talking and everything was setup. All they had to do was go in and sign the papers. They came home with a Mazda6

Nah, this was back in '05. I wouldn't tell my parents to buy the current Mazda's, they're too ricey for people in their late 50's.

My dad bought a MDX over a SRT Cherokee, because it is an Acura and has lots of power according to his idiotic friends.

2GR-FE? Good choice. Your parents are awesome. They are trading up from a 3.0 to a 3.5 that's like 286bhp. You'll weep if they decide to race your SLK.
