@snap_understeer_ftw: Heartclick for you.

@congokit001: And hopefully your baby girl won't be like 98% of the girls I've met in my life, who hate driving, don't know or care what makes their cars go, and proudly wear their ignorance like a shrug-shouldered badge of laziness and sexist cliche.

@phrancis: Do NOT let her get away with that. It's too sad and cliche.

@amowls: or the other way around *even though they're men!* Agreed.

For the longest time, my mother wanted a Passat. The newest one, loaded to the pillars, any color. Then she drove my car and decided she wanted an Audi. I'll get her an A8. She can hog all the parking space she wants in front of her house.

How is the chick who hints that she might "show up with dyed hair" going to ruin my "big day"?

@Mitch Waylett: That car looks like it wants to kill me.

@FTroop: Oh, and I should say we've been through some really tough winters in the Finger Lakes together. She's never asked me for anything but maintenance.

@vavon205: I'm sure there are. I remember Dodge was advertising the Caliber with a refrigerated section for keeping drinks cool (it was in/near the glovebox, I believe).

@FTroop: I still have the Intrepid (she's my spare car). It has 150K on it, and I've never had to do anything mechanically major to it except fix the occasional leak and replace the rotors. She runs like a clock.

@dislexicmofo: :-D According to Jeremy, both diesel innovations AND GTI Mk Vs will save the world, so we're cool.

@john_static: I wish you had a car magazine, because writing for it would be my Dream Gig.

@boomchek: No, even if a girl says it it's not forgiveable. Means she's not paying attention.

@900pilot: or someone who automatically assumes that every 6-cyl is a V6.

First, the anti-shibboleth: When I talk to someone enthusiastically contemplating the new purchase of a car, and the first thing they babble about are the features. The iPod dock, the nav, the cool footwell lights, the chilled cup holders. That's like buying a house because you really liked the closet organizer in the…

@500wishes: Also known as Bernadine.

@Ailatan: Nope, married to mine.

@GreyCat: Celexa (citalopram) was advertised as an SSRI that may treat "compulsive shopping" in addition to depression and anxiety disorders.

This clip makes me so happy.

@Motoriginal: I hear ya. Inattentiveness is just a real pet peeve of mine, I suppose.
