Do you talk to your car?

adman77 · 24th July 2007, 12:04

Was just wondering, how many of us talk to our cars? Well, I might sound crazy, but I regularly do that. Things like "Good morning, good night, take care." Sometimes, when I just sit inside my ride on a sunday morning and talk to it for some time. And whenever it's in the garage, I make it a point to drop by and give him a hug at least once everyday and tell him that everything's gonna be all right. Wifey does that too. Talks to him more than I do. Well, is there anyone else as crazy as me?

Did that once while my windows were down. The traffic cop next to my car at the signal thought I needed professional medical attention. Therefore, and in conclusion, I stopped talking to my car.

Yes. But it is generally when I take her over a bad pothole - "Sorry for that baby". Or if she has got me off a close shave or a quick burst of speed - "You se*y thing". LOL

Maybe he was right. There may still be hope and it may not be too late. We are all with you.

Mine is the same just tell her to move.

Well it is hard to accept but, yes I do talk to my car. Its like Sorry dear when taking her hard over the bad roads. Giving it a pat and thanking her when I manage to overtake trucks on highways at the last minute...

I dont know whats more crazy... that you talk to your car or that you think your car is a "he".

csentil · 24th July 2007, 12:42

Well I've named my cars Angelina & Salma. Based on their characteristics and the way I handle them. Anything else left to say? ;-)

Sorry if that sounds sexist.

DCEite · 24th July 2007, 12:56

I talk to her through my mind. And she understands.

By the way, Mahindra Scorpio talks to the driver. In a female voice.

razor4077 · 24th July 2007, 12:57

Yep, I talk to my cars.
"You were wonderful tonight baby..." or "I'm so sorry baby..." (after falling into a pothole or something)

Lol... needless to say, people think I am nuts, and it's definitely not something the ladies appreciate. Oh well....

planet_rocker · 24th July 2007, 13:02

this is a very nice thread.

i always talk to my car ever since i fell in love with her. i was @ Hyderabad for 3 years. and whenever i used to leave her back in Kolkata - i used to tell her, "dont worry baby i will be back to you. take care of yourself". i used to do this on the night before i used to leave. whenever i drove over a pothole i used to say "sorry baby". i do this even now as well.

ETC also knows aout this - i love my car as much as i love my GF.

There is a certain mike on this forum, will be around shortly. I am sure he will speak quite a lot to his owner. The only lines i speak are ' Go Baby Go' or '$hit man, that was close'.
