Feudalism:
You have two cars, and your lord uses them whenever he feels like,
returning them dirty, for which you are grateful.
Fascism: You have two cars,
the government then takes both, hires you to take care of them and
collects the fare you should have earned if they were taxis.
Pure
Communism: You have two cars. Your neghbours help you
take care of them, you all go out on picnics together in the car.
The cars last forever.
Applied Communism: You have
two cars. Your neighbours have to help you take care of them but
the Commissar's family goes out for a picnic in your cars while
the other one is out on Police duty. At night, your neighbours steal
parts but you can never buy a new car.

Dictatorship: You have two cars.
The government takes both and shoots you.
Military Rule: You have two
cars. The government seizes both and drafts you.
Capitalism: You steal two cars
from a poor neighbourhood. You mate them. The fleet grows. You retire
on the income and a third world crew keeps driving them and cleaning
them. One day the third world crew steals them. Start circle again.
Democracy: You have two cars.
All your neighbours decide who gets to use them.
Representative Democracy: You
have two cars. Your neighbours choose who will decide who gets to
use the cars.
Primitive Democracy: You have
two cars. Your neighbours choose the biggest guy to decide who gets
to use the cars. He does.
Indian
Democracy: You have two cars. You never register them,
you pay no taxes, you block others but you demand better roads.
Government blames ISI for bad road conditions and internal security
forces commandeer your cars, returning them without the a/c.
Pakistani Military Democracy:
You have two cars. The landlord/politician takes both, puts all
the male members of your family behind bars and accuses you of match-fixing
as well as voting in the past elections. When you ask for your cars,
blames RAW.
Singapore Democracy: You have
two cars. The government awards you ten lashes for not keeping the

because the dashboard says "kilometres" in English.
African Democracy: You have
two cars. Both are taken over by the UNDP & the UN Security Forces.
You get to wave at them (the cars) when the forces take them (the
cars) back home.
South American Democracy: You
have two cars. The government takes both and sends them to Zurich,
and spares you a death sentence if you give them the key to the
engine immobiliser.
USA Democracy: The government
promises you two cars if you vote for them. After the election the
President is impeached for speculating in auto company futures so
you get to choose between a donkey and an elephant.
Canadian Democracy: You have
two cars. One is French and the other British. Quebec demands the
French car, you sue each other, your legal bills exceed your annual
income, you go bankrupt, and settle out of court.
British
Democracy: You have two cars. Both don't run too good,
so the Government changes the side the steering wheel is on and
sell them to the French. You get a traders commission.
French Democracy: You have two
cars. You give them to your mistresses and claim complete tax deductions,
nobody cares. Your wife also has two cars which you did not give
her, nobody cares.
Australian
Democracy: You buy two cars for Aus $ 40,000/-. You pay
the Government Aus $ 8,000/- for stamp duty, Aus $ 8,000/- per annum
Sanitation Tax, Aus $ 3,000/- per annum Council Charges, Aus $ 8,000/-
per annum Compulsory Insurance and Aus $ 6,000/- per annum as Road
Tax. So you re-design the car into a 4WD SUV and sell it to New
Zealand, the Australian Government then imports buses and bus drivers
from Vietnam, and you live on the dole forever.
Euro Community Democracy: You
have two cars. The Committe regulates
when you can fill them and with fuel from where, so you have to
always drive 800 kilometres for that in the middle of the week.
Then they regulate when you can use them. Then they pay you not
to use them. Then they regulate that you have to scrap one car.
All the time you have to fill up forms.
Hong-Kong "Restricted" Democracy:
You inform the Government that you will sell all three of your two
cars to your publicly-listed company. You then open letters of credit
with the help of your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a
debt-equity swap with general offer so that you get all four cars
back, and claim a tax deduction for eight cars. The taxi earning
rights of the 12 cars are then transferred via a Panamian intermediary
to a Cayman Islands Company, secretly owned by the majority shareholder,
who sells all 16 cars back to the listed company. The annual report
claims that you own 20 cars with an option on 8 more. Meanwhile,
both cars vanish in Kowloon Bay on a trawler to be resold in Macau
under false papers and you shut your company due to bad "feng shui".
The Hong Kong Government then gives you two cars again. From Mainland
China.
Albanian Totalirasiam: You have
two cars. The Government seizes both and denies they ever existed.
Your driving licence is also seized. The cars re-surface in Italy
as 2 Vespa scooters each.

associated with two cars of no specific age or gender.

The "Auto Guru" is passing through a bit of a purple patch and promises
to deliver better stuff soon.
