OMG...I can relate to 99% of this stuff...except the bird crap thing...but I can especially relate to the parking thing. LOL

Mine:

You smile when you beep your alarm (It's like she's saying hi!)

You refer to the car as he/she, him/her....you get the point.

You NAME your car!

You praise your car for doing something good (like passing the slow asses...)

You reward your car; i.e. special gas, wash, etc for being "such a good girl!"

Don't let anybody, not even your spouse, drive it.

Tell your kids to take their shoes off before entering the car (Yes, I have that rule!! Shoes go in the trunk!!)

Ok, I might have it bad....

Alot of us do. Here's another.

when you get in your car, take a big sniff and go "ahhhh" then leave. (my used car may be 20 years old but it is the best smelling thing on the planet!!like oil and carpet cleaner)

when your have no money for gas so you just go sit in the car and make car noises

when someone's bought you something for the car and you didn't use it reguardless of the friendship. (dumbass gave me fuzzy dice and a tribal window decal.......not as a joke gift either)

when you've not used things like power windows for fear of wearing them out. (pretty bad case I'd say)

when there's ALWAYS a reason you lost the race.

when it stalls you call it "personality" <-- I've used this one

when you've walked around keys in hand so everybody knows it's yours

when you take out garbage, get mail, paper or whatever you walk up and look at your car for a few seconds an occasionally follow the lines with hovering fingers (no smudges!!!!)

NO!!!!!!!!! Nobody can ever **** you off enough to do this. as a car enthusaist you should know how low of a blow attacking something as personal as a car is!!!!!!!!! Hell no! That's like a guy kicking another guy in the nuts, you just don't do it. I thought it was no biggie myself till we got a small rock scratch. I had no idea something os small is so expensive to repair. If the scratch is deep enough to catch a fingernail., they have to sand prime, etch prime, then paint, then blend, the clear and it's around 3 to 4 hundred dollars. NEVER key a car again and if you do don't post about it because I don't want to hear it. You should be ashamed and get your car keyed. You do it for the dumbest reson too especially when technically all Mazdas ARE fords, Ford owns Mazda. Immagine how hard it is for Lamborghini and Jaguar owners to admit Ford owns them too. I can't even begin to explain how pissed and dissapointed I am in you.

Well if it makes you feel any better, the guys, who did this have done alot more to deserve it, really, i mean the guys not only talked smack but they also vadelized other peoples cars and stolen stuff outta them, i know it would be wrong to scratch there car just because they call Mazdas fords (no matter how much it pisses me off) but ive only done this once to a group of guys and considering what they had done the one night (i wont bore you with the details) but honestly i held myself back...alot. And trust me i have a crap load of scratches on my passenger side, but thankfully Mazda was kind enough to give me free touch up paint, but anyway its not so much that the guys called Mazda's Ford's but its what they say after it and how they say it, they meant to demean my car and other Mazda's and it did not help when they found out that i had a 3, they said "the 3 and the 6 are not even rotary so basically you just bought new p.o.s that Ford crapped out", my car is the only thing that i have been proud of i try my best to treat it right i admit that i have done some stupid things with it but nothing that cannot be fixed, i was about to kill somebody that night. But in this case when i keyed the guys car it was justified, what i done was in no way even close to what they had done both financially and mentally, i understand where your comming from 87 hell id even slap myself for doing that just cuz some people cant appreciate Mazda's im not even proud of what i did but i had to do something or it would have gotten alot worse, but no matter what anybody says i stand by my action, i did it to defend the people they were hurting and the Mazda's they were disgracing.
