No, I haven’t taken up peanut farming. Nor am I thinking of running for President. But like Jimmy admitted in his famous Playboy interview, I have lusted in my heart.
The object of my lust is not another woman, but another car. That’s right, I want one of the new Miatas…er, MX-5s. I can’t explain it. I think the car I’m driving is a much nicer looking automobile, inside and out. I have got it modified to near perfection for my liking. Sure they have made some improvements in the new car, but none are real compelling. Actually there are a few things that I don’t like at all about the new car, yet still I wish I could get one. It must be giving off pheromones that are stimulating chemical receptors in my brain.
This will just have to be my cross to bear, because unless I win the lotto (and I better buy a ticket if that is to happen), I certainly can’t afford a new car.

I have a larger cross to bear: the MX-5 is out as well as the new Passat. I’m lusting after both of them.
Fortunately the reality is that buying two new cars just isn’t feasible. And buying a new MX-5 when I store it for 5-6 months makes no practical sense.
But lust isn’t practical anyway. I just have to remember — lusting is one thing. Acting on that lust is a completely different thing!
Us Protestants can handle that dichotomy a lot better (grin).
