Heavy Metal & Nostalgia

DapperButch · 03-22-2012, 05:40 PM

My favorite car is the one I have now. It is in my gallery and avatar.

A 2002 BMW Z3. She has 96,000 miles on her and I plan to keep her forever.

I plan to finally get her lowered (just by a wee 1/2 inch) this summer. The larger than OEM aftermarket wheels I bought her two years ago raised her too high for my liking.

I love this car so much my partner and I actually have a trip planned just so that we can drive her a long distance. We plan to drive the entire Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway in May/June. I have requested that fancy dancy brochure from blueridgeparkway.org and I am waiting with bated breath for it to come in the mail so that I can plan our trip! Being that she is at 100K, I need to get her into the shop to change all fluids, install a new coolant system, etc, prior to going.

My other favorite vehicle is the other car I have. I bought this one new. 2000 Nissan Pathfinder LE. 150,000 miles and she will last forever too!

I am 42 years old and besides the two above cars, I have only had one other car (1992 Honda Civic LX - loved that one, too!) I am from a family of keep a car until it dies!

Ok, so I am thinking that people (even car people), are bored by now, so carry on!

ETA: I very, very much would love to get a new silver, Jeep Wrangler (Sahara model) with black interior, but I am controlling myself.

She's a beauty, Dapper! Bet she'll look great after the drop.

Anyone else find it funny how many of us are referring to these vehicles as "she"? lol

Thank you, DD (hope it is ok to call you that...calling you Daddy feels creepy ha!).

I think it is sort of standard to refer to cars as she, no? Same with boats? Wonder why that is.......

Yup.

Know the phrase "steady as SHE goes"? lol

Not that I'm agreeing with it, but I found this on yahoo.com:

Cause cars and boats, etc, are as alluring to a man as a beautiful, sensuous woman. They can also be as aggravating and temperamental as a woman, as well, so it's just natural to identify them as female.

It's like, also, bad storms are called "Her"icanes, and some medical problems are called, "Her"nias, and the only thing a man ends up being is a "HIM"roid, which always is just a pain in the butt, or one of a woman's worst affictions, which always leads to a "HIS"terectomy.

Sorry.

I realized later it had the wrong name and for the exact reason you just now stated.

Sighs... I suppose I could scratch that fantasy... chuckles.

Not a problem and you are welcome.

Would love to see any of them, Glenn.
