Meaningful Conversation

[ETTIENNE]

Ok, i have to ask, does anyone here ever talk to their cars? :mmm:

 

[Bayn46]

No...maybe...yes :mmm:

More like a congratulatory pat on the dashboard after an awesome drive, which I guess is everyday

 

[Philip Foglar]

Erm, only maybe when by myself - passengers will think I'm nuts! I always check on her before going to sleep, does that count?

imp:
Well call me crazy, I don't care, YES!!!!! I DO!!!! :wave:
I greet her in the morning before I start her, congratulate her when she kicks ass on the road, tell her good night when I go to bed, Hell, I even apologize when I see a nicer car while driving and say, "don't worry baby, daddy still loves you!"
So there you go, I love my car like I love my wife and kids, and I talk to them, so it's only natural to talk to my car as well.

mmmmm seems like BMW drivers are in fact a different breed of people... in a good way that is...

People will think i'm also off my rocker... Wonder why when you get out the car you smile and look back at her and say thank you for such a awesome drive and getting me to my destination safely..

Then when you wash and polish and and and... you tend to or well i tend to think to myself on behalf of the car.. "ain't it nice being so clean, imagine how the people look at me and wish they had me too"

Ok i might be overdoing it hey...
:shocked:

 

[moranor@axis]

i find i often talk to myself when in my car...

 

[Jakkals_F30]

especially when you need to overtake in a hurry and you tell your baby... come on i know you can do this.

Seen 'Gone in 60 seconds'... Where Nicolas Cage goes over to 'Elanor' and intruduce himself... Thats what i do evertime I buy a new car... :screwy:

I talk to my car alot, even when she is parked in the garage and I walk past the door (direct access into the house) I make sure that the garage light is the last light I switch off before we go to bed at night, seeing as I cant sleep with a light on, my cars cant do it either... lol

Weird, I know, but some cars - Specially BMW's, not all of them thou - do develop a personality which is one of the many reasons I love them... :wave:

Mine gets the occasional compliment and pat on the dash when I'm alone in the car :mmm:

 

[Nic_s]

I too talk to my car when I'm desperate need some intelligent conversation. :hammerhead:

 

[ETTIENNE]

mmm...as i suspected, i am not alone in doing this.... I LOVE my Beemer!

 

[AshG108]

i say good-morning and good-night to my car, basically i talk to both my cars whenever i see them, opening and closing the garage, asking them how their bath was(after washing)... nothing worg with that, they keep us safe and part of the family, only right to treat them like family.

 

[msm]

Looks like you're all a bit crazy :screwy:

Anyway, need to go out now and have a quick chat to the 330i to figure out where we're going for lunch

 

[Jandre]

I used to swear out loud at my e36 in the beginning. But now I don't have to do that anymore.

 

[CocoPops]

lol i do! almost whenever i drive her, full on conversations hahaha..

 

[SecondSkynz]

for sure!!

ok admit it guys, who does the over the shoulder glance and smile when walking away in the parking lot........

 

[rhett325]

I think I am the most crazy here. I think every car has a personality. I speak to them like friends.

My 200tS for example, the other morning as I close the door and the central locking locks, car is on and keys are inside. I calmly walked around the front of the car and told her despite her best efforts I am going to keep her until she comes right and while getting the keys I will most likely hurt her and she is just doing this to herself actually. A more difficult car you will not find.

I am officially weird I think!

My better half just looked at me funny when i asked her if she talkes to her beemer..... is it just a guy thing?:dunno:

I think it might be, cause both my wife and 2 daughters laugh at me whenever i talk to my car... :mmm:

 

[Jakkals_F30]

Females will never understand the close bond a male has with their cars...

I think a car also has feelings etc... if you neglect your car, she will let you wait next to the road plenty times.. if you treat her shit she will do the same to you...

Look on the odd occasion she can't help it when something breaks even though you give her everything she needs but that's easy to fix... A car is like a wife... well mine's not called my 2nd wife for nothing and on a saturday or sunday she gets way more attention cause it's wash and clean time.
