Embarrassing story
Every once in a while you do something that really makes you think about your "affection" for your car.
Last Sunday night I returned to Tampa International Airport from 4 days in Denver, business trip. I got off the plane, got my luggage and took the tram back to the parking garage. I got off the elevator and headed for the car, I remembered where I parked and walked toward the car. As soon as I saw it I said, out loud, "Hey! There you are! How ya doin'? Did you enjoy your stay? Time to go home." I happened to glance to my right and about 20 feet from me was a couple who had stopped walking and just stared at me. All I could do was gesture toward the car and say "Great car..." I either need to stop talking to the car or up my medication. Tell me I'm not the only one who's done this.

But, talking to your car makes it happy...I mean, talking to the car is normal right?
Its when the car starts talking back that you should get worried... |

I'd apologize to the transmission immediately for being embarassed by your open affection. Don't want to anger him/her.

If talking to the car is not normal, then I am not normal. Uh, well, talking to the car IS normal, anyway.

Randy - repeat after me "I'm normal, I'm normal, I'm normal, I'm normal, I'm normal, I'm normal, I'm normal." Ok, maybe not.

I found myself talking to the SVX while I was waxing it the other day. My friend was like...."What the H$#L are you doing?"
I told him I'd talk to his car when I waxed it.

Talking cars
I once had a company car I called "Rex, The Talking Wonder Dodge." It was truly a POS and had this really annoying warning system with a metallic voice that announced imperiously that YOUR SEATBELT IS UNFASTENED, or THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS AJAR,
or YOUR WINDSHIELD FLUID IS LOW, etc.,etc., and when you fixed the problem by fastening your belt or whatever, the voice would say, THANK YOU. So what I would do is open all four doors, the trunk and hood, wait for Rex to announce all these malfunctions, then run around and close everything as fast as I could. Then I'd stand there, in complete hysterics while Rex said THANK YOU,THANKYOU,THANKYOU,THANKYOU,THANKYOU,THANKYOU as fast as it could. Dan |
