Let me first say there is a big difference between gf and wife. Really, you know what I mean if you are married. Because you can't legally prohibit the wife driving your car (or you think it’s your car).

None of my gfs drove my car before I got married except my wife. She once scrapped my other car against the parking garage wall (repair cost - $4K) and after we got married she backed into the same car with someone in a parking lot (another $2.5K). I was mad when she called me to report what she has just done but my first words to her were always “Are you okay?” My point is that if your lady is a keeper, you just need to think positively because it’s just life, just a car after all like someone said it. Although I do like the creative repayment method, I would exchange half of that for nice massages

As a side note, my wife does not drive "my" GS and she does not even demand to drive it.

How can you guys compare a car to a wife, you should be ashame of yourself. A car is only good for 3 or 4 years, thats how long most people keep their car for. On the other hand, most people keep their wife for at least 10 years before trading in for a newer model

Isnt that why guys are so into cars, they so much like females. You can get a nice low maintenance model which will last you a life time. It will cost you very little to keep around and the draw back is that there is not a whole lot of excitment involve and sometimes it makes un-pleasant noises.
On the other hand, you can have a high performance model that is very high maintenace and totally un-reliable. Cost you a fortune to keep around and be all your friend's envy.
If there is any females out there, yes I am a pig

Is that what they're calling it now?

It used to just be plain old sodomy.



I'm here all week. Try the fish.

I would never let a girl drive my car unless she was my fiance, or we were in a very long relationship.

Girls are terrible drivers.

Never thought of it like that. Makes absolutely perfect sense!
