Car Adoration

[Coolbanana]

Who else adores their car to the point that they find themselves always looking at it?

My garage is connected to the kitchen and a few times a day, I'll pop into the garage briefly via the connecting door with no agenda other than to admire my car; to gaze fondly at its sleek, curvaceous lines.

Admittedly I've only ever done this with sports cars I've owned.

Just wondering if I'm odd. Well, I am regardless according to the kids

Wasn't there a TV documentary a while back about a guy that was in love with a VW beetle? He got really pissed off at another bloke for "raping" her exhaust pipe.

You need a house like mine...view from the lounge.

Yes, I can understand you. I really always liked just looking at my cars. Actually the looks are among the most important things even in my daily driver. I much prefer petrol over diesel, rwd over fwd and 4wd, NA over turbo or supercharged, L6 and V8 over L4 but I can live with all that if I love the looks.

Now that I would like! I've been known to park the bike in the garden on a sunny day after cleaning it so that I can see it from the living room. Can't get the car there though.

Don't think my 'obsession' as my wife calls it, goes that far. Some seriously weird folk about - even more so than me, it seems.

Now this is really spooky but just this morning I learnt about objectum sexuals (people who love objects) on my US fact a day calendar and then I see this. How strange is that?!
