On one level I agree with you: happiness = reality - expectations.

However what I am saying is that we don't actually have real impact on our lives today. From what I can tell, nobody actually failed to get a car and had to cancel their road trip (to use your example)

Tangent, but wouldn't it be happiness = expections - reality?

No, high but unmet expectations are the opposite of happiness.
