All cars (I have my favorites, I am incredible with a wrench, and am who everyone comes to friends and family with car problems, as I am a certified mechanic). I have had this conversation with my mother on many occasions, and my grandmother. I liked the article, well written, and a funny other side of the spectrum to myself. PS - I have a spark plug gapping tool on my keychain. I happen to be one of those people that’s just in LOVE with cars.

Such a clean machine
With the pistons a pumpin
And the hub caps all gleam

When Im holdin your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When my hands on your grease gun
Oh its like a disease son

Im in love with my car
Gotta feel for my automobile
Get a grip on my boy racer rollbar
Such a thrill when your radials squeal

Told my girl Ill have to forget her
Rather buy me a new carburetor
So she made tracks sayin
This is the end now
Cars dont talk back
Theyre just four wheeled friends now

When Im holdin your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When Im cruisin in overdrive
Dont have to listen to no run of the mill talk jive

Im in love with my car
Gotta feel for my automobile
Im in love with my car
String back gloves in my automolove

We all have our talents--and our interests. I gave up gapping my own spark plugs after one flew out of my engine to land in the grass beside the road. We all have our talents–and our interests.

I too have gapped my own spark plugs, changed my oil, flushed my radiator, even upholstered the ceiling of my first car. They are all called Bessie, and I am so grateful to have one - but there is a difference between my "relationship" with my car and that of my husband or son and their cars.
