Post by: tcspeedfreak on May 01, 2009, 10:39:48 AM
so im sitting in my driveway cleaning out the pickup and talking to myself (i know its pretty bad when im carrying on a conversation with myself out loud), but anyway i got to thinking do vehicles you own have feelings be it anger, furustation, jealousy, ect... i came to this realization when my pickup threw a fit on me when i was spending more time with the monster then her.

anyone else out there have any ideas on this theroy or am i really just loosing it that bad ???

The Taurus shows her displeasure by activating the "check engine" light when I don't pay her enough attention ~

You're not crazy.  I talk to my cars, too.  ;D

Tonight, I'm going out to retrieve my old pickup from the garage where it was stored for the winter.  I said goodbye to it last fall, and I'm going to re-introduce myself this weekend.  [laugh]

It's like a reunion with an old friend.   [beer]

Having multiple bikes leads to jealousy issues too.  Fortunately for me, my cage is a small p/u truck that's not fussed about much.

I sold the 996 last weekend. I think it broke my foot while putting it up on the trailer. She was pissed.

Allegra (my '95 M900) had been PISSED at me for a couple weeks (saw me riding River's M620 and my Nightster)...  spent a couple hours this afternoon just tidying up the wires/hoses and re-routing some things (which appearantly fixed a running/riding issue with the carbs and/or the coils) and damn was she happy again!

Took her for a 40 mile 'test-ride' at speeds well in excess of posted limits (as she likes it) and now...all is right with the world.  [moto]
