ITT: Stupid relatives and their stupid cars doing stupid things.

>Grandma is looking for a car

>my grandfather has spoiled her sideways for years, always buying a bigger, softer car with each trade in

>when he died, she was on a Buick Lacrosse

>he also kept up with all the dealership visits, oil changes, and oh by the way he was the one who actually BOUGHT the car

>grandma moves in with relatives who don't have room for another car (1 highschool kid, 1 20something who's "finding themselves," plus two parents)

>we offer to hang on to the car for her, but she insists that if she can't have it with her she needs to sell it

>also insists that she needs to be the one that sells it

>lists a 2009 CXL with pretty much everything an old guy would go for (power this, power that, moon roof, super dooper radio set) for 7k, two years ago

>"barters" down to 5k

>grandma what the fuck

>then spends the money at the casino in a weekend

>a few months later, highschool kid goes off to uni

>Grandma sees this as an opportunity to get her car back

>She goes on and on about how she misses her Buick that she sold a few months ago

>she's genuinely surprised that she can't find a Lacrosse that isn't completely fucked for anywhere near her selling price

>gives up and goes to dealership

>oops, grandma doesn't actually have good credit, because grandpa did all the wheeling and dealing

>so of course, with no real income, she can't get a nice Buick
