You have to feel for his guy. Sometimes during the noughties, he got himself a Kia Rio as his daily driver. It wasn’t because he loved the car to pieces and he thought it was the best in the world - it was simply a convenient option, the best he could afford at the time.
But you know how friends are: always there to help and support you. They all probably started to call him crazy (actually, we know what they called him as he makes it very clear during the short clip, but it involves the F word and our mommies won’t allow us to use it) for buying a Korean car instead of using the money to go for a used car from a well-known brand. And since it’s Australia we’re talking about, that probably meant a Toyota Corolla.
The man had already made his choice, and he was sticking with it. Some doubts may have crept into his soul, but it’s not like you can go back to the dealer with the keys and tell him or her that your friends don’t approve of your car and ask for the money back. Instead, he secretly swore to have his revenge on his soon to be ex-friends once his car reaches a certain milestone. Say... 100,000 kilometers (62,000 miles).
Some odd seven years later, that milestone looks as imminent as Donald Trump losing the elections. He’s cruising down the M4 highway at a steady 90 km/h (54 mph) and pops up his phone to capture the moment. And, boy, aren’t we glad he did.
“Hello, ladies,” is how he begins his moment of fame, showing that in spite of what it’s about to unfold, he’s a well-mannered gentleman. He then goes back in time to the moment when people foresaw his doom and that of his lousy Korean car, demonstrating how deeply all those things that were said had scarred him by remembering the exact words that were used. A “f-ing idiot.”
The video also has a brief educational segment, as we get a short explanation of what curse words are and why they’re used for: “they hurt more.”
I don’t know about you, but regardless of the reason - as long as it doesn’t impede on anybody else’s well-being - I like seeing happy people. They make me happy too. And when they also mutter crazy things like “all glory is mine,” I can’t help but burst out with laughter. Which is what I sincerely hope you will do, too.
Oh, and as somebody was very keenly noting, being this happy upon reaching the 100,000 km mark is somewhat the opposite reaction people usually have, as it means losing the warranty. Oh, well, we all know best where our priorities lie.
