My car is a guy, would make out with your car since it's a female?

[Riffster]

Depends - my car goes both ways. http://forums.freshalloy.com/images/graemlins/grin.gif

To explain that, sometimes I call it "James Brown" and other times it's "Bambina" or the "BS Beauty".

Btw, I can totally see Italians not talking to their car - they're too busy talking to each other. http://forums.freshalloy.com/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

When you mentioned that title, I was immediately thinking of the Honda commercial where they post a pic of the driver with a pic of their car, showing similar characteristics.

My car is referred to as a female when I give her a warm bubbly bath and then a good sensual rubdown (drying). When going out cruising and needing to go to attack mode, it is referred to as a he. "Go sic 'em, boy!" http://forums.freshalloy.com/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Yeah, so my car isn't a senient being I talk to. I mean, I talk to it, but I'm talking to myself whe I do so, just like in the shower or ... well, half of my day. My car is an extension of me. SILVER BULLET & me!

LOL. http://forums.freshalloy.com/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Both of our cars have names. My car (or at least the one I usually drive) is a guy, and my wife's car is a girl. We never actually talk to the cars though, other than when joking around.

I've always thought of myself as an Acura. The replacement for displacement is ... brains! http://forums.freshalloy.com/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

God... people who buy a Honda or Acura and then pass up one of the smoothest, slickest shifting manuals on Earth for an infamous Honda slushbox. I just don't understand. http://forums.freshalloy.com/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Get this... some people live and breathe the power, the style, the comfort, the luxury, the glamour, the smoothness, the compatibility, the economy, the wonderfulness, the gemütlichkeit ... of automatic transmission! http://forums.freshalloy.com/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Yeah, so the answer is that I wanted the AT because I prefer the AT. http://forums.freshalloy.com/images/graemlins/shocked.gif Eek.

[Note to self: Don't mention that you were looking for the Japanese/import equivalent of a Grand Am coupe, because it'll make you look like total weaksauce.]
