Do you love your car?

Do you love your car?

Mine, I used to keep super-clean and shiny, but I'm not sure if this means you love it.. just that you fancy it

Since the church roof fell on the bonnet, and the cyclist hit the front of it (his fault not mine) the 190E is looking worse for wear and I haven't got it repaired.

Everyone says to get it fixed but to be honest, I don't really feel like it. Sure it would look better but I like it how it is.


- Would you run to your car and drive it away if it was parked next to a burning house?

I've just about forgotten what mine looks like, it's been with the mechanic so long

The Jeep is kept very clean, though. And luckily gas is cheap right now!

My current daily driver is a Ford ZX2. I don't love it, but it does what it should, get me to and from work in a relatively efficient manner.

Please support our troops and use a condom if you love your car.

Well . . .

. . . there are all sorts of meanings to the word "love."

"I love you."

"I love French fries."

"I love watching Nicole Kidman when she [fill in the blank]."

As for my car, I know I love driving it; I love changing the oil and topping off the fluids so that I can keep driving it.

Only having one-word “love” in the English language really confuses a lot of issues.

I love my 280SL. I hate all my other vehicles. A Mercedes is not a car, it is a chariot.

I saw one in a museum - it had a Caesar/Anthony sticker on it.

Just waxed mine the other week and it looks awesome. People are always amazed when I tell them it's 10 yrs old, it looks brand new.

My goal is to see if I can have it that tight (in and out) in another ten years. As long as I don't get hit, I think I can do it.

Yea...I love the thing!!!
