Ah, love... its such a fickle and fleeting thing. It's so difficult to find the right one... court her... woo her... capture her imagination... light the fire of her passion, and then stoke the inferno of her insatiable lust all night long... and then remember her name in the morning.
In long term relationships, though, you have to get past that awkward phase, and look forward to the second date. You have to pull out all the stops. You have to commit. Sometimes you even have to swipe her driver's license.
Loving a car is very similar (except you don't have to use "protection"). Once the honeymoon period is over, you start to notice the drips in your driveway and the intractible twist in the steering wheel and that the rear bumper sags. You have to get past that. You have to develop a RELATIONSHIP.
In a relationship with a car, you have to decide that for better or worse, you're going to stick by that car and keep it going. You're going to invest the time and energy necessary to do whatever it takes to make her purr. You're going to be there for her, even if it sometimes seems like she's not there for you.
... and if you can't take it anymore and you scream "F - this!" you can always have her towed away and replace her with a hot new sporty model fresh off the line.
God, I love this country...
