Who Talks To Their Car?

CBLW · 08-22-2008, 09:46 AM

Man up. At least some of us do it. Who baby talks their car when driving alone? (or maybe with others. lol) You know what I'm talking about... words of encouragement, a gentle pat on the steering wheel after a nice turbo burn, a "have a nice night" as you head into the house after work... admit it!

Who does it? And what do you say? hahahaha

emm3tt · 08-22-2008, 09:56 AM

No, never have and I've also never named my car!

JTdrivin1 · 08-22-2008, 09:58 AM

i do...

no baby talk tho. i either talk to it like i would a dog or a gf, depending on my mood. i.e. 'who's a good girl?' after some extreme driving, or 'hey sexy' after a day pampering her. yea, i've got issues...

+1

I have however cursed at most cars I've owned from time to time

CBLW · 08-22-2008, 10:04 AM

Verbal abuse = BAD owner.

Haven't picked up the 135 yet, but with my Audi I've done both the "good job" after a good run and the "you rotten sack of sh!t" when a bolt/wheel/anything won't come off.

Sometimes I bust out the German too...maybe hoping she'll understand it better?

Just a simple "Morning Girl" when I get in ... it's a bad habit I picked up from an ad on TV in New Zealand 20 years ago, a Farmer would always say "Morning Girls" to his cows in the morning, and they would all chime back "Morning Murray", unfortunately the car's never said "Morning" back to me.

Slay0r · 08-22-2008, 10:08 AM

usually give a goodnite sweetheart when im locking up the garage

CBLW · 08-22-2008, 10:10 AM

My car's name is Rosalie (after the Ryan Adams song about a love/hate relationship). So far, it's been only love, but if she starts to act up on me, then the song will be totally appropriate.

tkbr0wn · 08-22-2008, 10:10 AM

135's are male. You are all gay. :wub:

gan08 · 08-22-2008, 10:13 AM

I speak to my 135 with exhaust note language...
call me crazy, i think it responses back with higher speed. :biggrin:

CBLW · 08-22-2008, 10:14 AM

If 135's are male, then consider me Lance Bass.

jrc · 08-22-2008, 10:24 AM

^^ wouldn't that make your car ghey? NTTAWWT

LOL, not that theres anything wrong with that. I just saw Tropic Thunder last night and he (Lance) was in it. It was unbelievably funny.

I think you just won the thread.

Jumpman · 08-22-2008, 11:29 AM

I've been known to say, "Aw, I've missed you too!" and give a pat on the dash upon hearing the chime. :-)

AwesomeBMW · 08-22-2008, 05:44 PM

when I shift bad (you know the crunching sound) I have to apologize or else the car hates me.

JKAWB · 08-22-2008, 05:58 PM

Guns and cars are always given girls names and are thus girls. If it were legal, I would marry and have sex with my car and all my guns.

Haha!! Yeah, I talk to my car after I smoke somebody at a stoplight. I pat the dashboard and say, "It's ok girl, calm down, calm down...." :biggrin:
