Are you afraid your custom-woven virgin raw silk upholstery in your Rolls Royce will get bleached if you have to roll the window down on a sunny day, long enough to stick a card out and pull it back again?

I mean - what kind of obsessive compulsive disorder or phobia must one have, to be SO averse to using a gate card to get through a gate, in a community where the advertisement shows that there are gates, that people use cards to get through? Why in the world did you move to the Villages at all, if this is so profoundly offensive to your sensibilities that the very thought of using a gate card to get a gate open sends your mind spiraling into rage?

It's a gate. It's a card. It's not a big deal. The [religious] Space Lasers aren't going to come out of the card and steal your soul like the cameras in the microwave ovens do.

Such silliness.
I don't have a Rolls Royce, I have a Hyundai and the seats are plastic/vinyl? When the rain comes in the seat gets slick, so when I hit the breaks I slide onto the floor. So embarrassing! 😡
