You're the originator, so I think we have to take that, with perhaps a slight twist, since "drank the kool-aid" already means to get too deep into something.
"Bought the chassis": to have contributed to something that, long-term, is probably really not all that good for you.
So mote it be?
akronnick:
So when Tergon created the first Useless Broom Made Entirely Of Dicks he "bought the chassis."
Does that work?
TheEvilDog:
I imagine "buying the chassis" is some action which despite trying to solve a problem, ends up creating a whole new set of problems.
Example, Pintsize eats cake batter and damages his original equipment. Marten buys a new chassis, and ends up arming a little maniac with a military grade laser, and inadvertly causes a bookshelf, coffee machine, apartment wall and curtains to end up on fire. All because Marten "bought a new chassis".

There we go:
Buying the chassis: To solve some problems while creating more, ususally bigger, ones!
Who remembers the proto-matter component of the Genisis Device? THAT certainly fits this definition.

I was thinking that had Marten not "bought the chassis," then there would be no flying Roomba, and no potentially traumatizing fleshlight presentation, among others. Obviously, we're getting close. So: Buying the chassis: an attempt to solve one problem that creates more, usually bigger, problems for yourself and perhaps others.
When Kirk stole the Enterprise, he really bought the chassis.
When Frodo tried to ditch the Fellowship, he almost bought the chassis. Luckily, Sam stopped him.
If you self-medicate with booze and cocaine, you're risking buying the chassis in a serious way.
I like it.
