A Car & A Girlfriend

*From my old Friendster Blog site written on March 26, 2007.

Owning a car is equivalent to having a girlfriend. Well, that's what I think...

Cars need to be maintained. Girlfriends need to be maintained too. Some girlfriends cost you higher maintenance "costs" than the others, but on average, maintenance is a must..

Cars need regular checks. Engine oil, steering fluid, windshield liquid, coolant, etc. etc. Same goes for girlfriends. Regular checks and consistent attention is a requirement..

If you don't regularly check your car, it'll break down before you know it. Well, when cars break down, it costs you a whole lot of time and money to fix it. Same goes to "fixing" your girl's heart. LOL. If you give no proper attention, they'll "break down". Time goes to the numerous hours of talking on the phone trying to stop them from sulking, and money goes to the bill that comes at the end of the month (or the prepaid cards you pay every 2 days)..

It might sound that all you get from both a car and a girlfriend is nothing but trouble and headaches. Well, that's not really the case actually. Both should give you the peace of mind, and a sense of stability..

So, does that mean a girlfriend is worth no more than a car? No. In fact, here are some big time differences:

• if you have a girlfriend, it helps you tell others that you're not gay..
• when you kneel down and propose for marriage to your car, they'll never say yes no matter what you do..
• when you cry, you car will just ignore you..
• your car won't think your crappy jokes are funny..
• girlfriends don't need gasoline to function..
• when you hug your car, they don't hug you back...
• you definitely can't make love to or make out with you car..
• if you own a car and have no girlfriend, you still can't change your Friendster status from "Single" to "In a relationship"...

So, considering these differences, ultimately, I think a girlfriend should definitely worth more than a car... LOL ;P That was fun...
