    Default Honestly.....

    How many of you after the time we have our cars and put our heart and soul into them, Whether show or go, I know I am not the only one who see's the car as more then just "a car". To me its a part of me and I even have talked to her when I clean her down, etc.... Kinda like a member of the family.....

    I completely agree with you! I put all my heart and soul into my car and worked hard for everything I wanted. I had school and work on certain days where I would not have time to do homework, but I would work that much more because I wanted something, I had a goal. Nothing was just handed to me. It made the car worth that much more to me. I may not have had that much, but the things I had I worked hard to get. It really was my "baby" and I miss her greatly right now

    I see my car as more than just "a car". Whenever me and my friends are messin around and I insult them they all know they can say somethin about my car and I hate it. It makes me mad whenever people say stuff about my car. I have people who don't like me cause they have said somethin about my car and I go off on them

    ask anyone i'm my car's worst judge (it's pink, dented, faded, and slow etc) but she is MY pink, dented, faded, and slow lude!...but she is the first car i bought with my own $...and she will always hold a special place in heart....if i'm having a bad day...i just get in her and drive...she always put a smile on my face...and seeing that she is slowly but surely coming along with my future ambitions...it's even better

    oh ya.... and to answer the question. Yes, I do feel that way... I feel that because I took the motor/tranny/wheels off my totalled (original HyPer5.0) mustang... that I still have the "heart" of my baby with me... I know i know, i'm sounding like a freak, but you know what i mean. I got the powerplant, so she's still here.

    I think of my car as my boyfriend, he treats me good-
    he takes me places and doesnt complain... in turn, I
    make him look hot- fuel his fire and get him all the attention
    he needs.

    Oh yeah me and my car have a love/hate relationship.. I think she's mad at me cause I got her up for sale and decided to blow the transmission. lol

    Seriously though I've put a lot of time and resources into getting my car where it is now, I really dont know how I'm going to feel once its sold.

    My car is a dirty slut.

    She lets me beat on her and generally doesn't complain. Some days she wants to be stubborn so I beat on her more.

    She likes it when I play rough with her.

    Sometimes I even stick my dick in her tailpipe and fuck her raw and scream "IS THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT YOU STUPID DIRTY WHORE"

    Wow. Some of you people have some serious displacement issues with your emotions.

    Your car does not love you.
    Your car does not care if you wax it with Meguires vs Zaino Bros.
    Your car is not happy to see you in the morning.
    Your car could give two shits if it's you driving it, or some dude named Fred.

    Your car is made up of thousands of mechanical and electrical parts that a bunch of asian and/or american and/or european people designed to put together in a way that would efficiently transport you from point A to point B.

    Some of us want to get there faster. Some of us want to get there looking nice. Some of us want to get there without burning 5 gallons of gasoline.

    Seek help, I urge you.

    I stand corrected. My apologies to the Mexican deligation, hahaa.

    Matt, stop giving it to your car in the parking lot. I'm tired of seeing that shit on my way home. I mean, seriously - there's no need to put snow chains on your tires as a S&M kink to your relationship....
