I read a survey last year, stating that 68% of people talk to their cars, so those that don't, then, are abnormal? Thank God I read that! Now, I'm not so embarrassed when I'm sitting at an intersection talking alone in my car, when someone in a car next to mine looks at me and probably wonders: who's he talking to? I've been talking to my cars for years, I treat them just like they were human beings. I talk to them to and from work, driving around town, I even go out to the garage, at times, and just talk to them. If I park in a parking ramp, I always take them to the very top so they can enjoy the view. They deserve that! I once read in a true crime book of a mechanic that went to prison as a result of getting involved with the wrong female and he said once I get out of prison the ONLY relationships I'm going to have are with cars. Can anyone think of a better friend to have, a car? When you feel down-and-out, well, there's your friend sitting in the garage always willing to cheer you up, take you wherever you want to feel better, all done without a complaint. If I could have sex with either of my cars, I would!

That last sentence threw me a bit, but it's not unusual for me to walk around the driveway, when no one is watching, and give the cars a little pat on the fender and tell them thanks for all the cool things they do.

Default You can do better than that!

I've planted a nice juicey kiss right on the hood! I thank my car each and every time it takes me safely to work and back. Give it a kiss once in awhile!

I'm not in the habit of talking to inanimate objects. I suppose I'm not in the norm.

Talking Ah Yes, I remember

I had an old "68" Ford LTD I talked to all the time. Only because she was held together with duct tape, bubblegum, hope and prayers. Oh, and lets not forget the coat hanger holding up the exhaust pipe.
