Cheating Cars

Driving loved ones to the airport used to be a labour of love because most likely, one person had a job, the other one worked at home.

Not anymore. Life is more expensive and the marketplace keeps churning gadgets that are ‘must have’ especially for kids, and that requires two incomes (if there are any jobs available at all).

With two people working, there is no: drop me off and pick me up at the airport honey.’ You leave the car in a covered bay at the airport and pick it up after a week or three weeks when you return from Dubai or Leipzig.

Cars are not only means of transport, but barometers of marriages as well. A car might be parked at the airport in Kiev, Ukraine. The owner might be spending nights ten blocks from his house and not Odessa, where he said he was going to attend a seminar.

Somebody might see the car but that is no problem because cars parked at the airport do not have destination stickers. The family confirms that the owner is out of the country or city.

Leaving the car at the airport and going where you are not supposed to go is courting disaster as many movies have shown us, because it involves lies and they are hard to remember.
