The Canvas Outhouse Car

I had a dream where my husband traded our Maxima in for a motorized canvas outhouse on wheels for $25,000. I was so mad. First, why would he make a big decision about a car purchase without talking to me? Second, it had to be the most impractical "car" ever. (No windows, only seating for 2, virtually no safety (there were seatbelts but I don't think we were using them, and what would they have done with only a canvas seat back, no steel frame, etc.), and I didn't even consider the smell or sanitation issues until I woke up.) Third, it cost as much as a Nissan Rogue, my current dream vehicle. Why buy such an impractical, ugly, unsafe "car" when you could have a much bigger and nicer car for the same price? We were driving around in it and I just kept yelling at him about the price and how much I hated it. I told him I would never drive it, and if I needed to go somewhere alone and he was going somewhere with our daughter I would take the other car and he could take her in the car seat in the canvas outhouse.
