Car obsessed

I have tried to understand what is this thing between guys and their cars..
Forget the women, but it's the car that defines the man driving it.

Well this is the typical conversation between two guys about their cars...

Guy 1. Good stuffs good stuffs! How fast is she?
Guy 2. You can be amazed at what she can do.

Meanwhile, as a babe you are there wondering what chic this is who is so fast and has good stuffs. What are these good stuffs by the way? So you continue eavesdropping hoping to get more info.

Guy 1. She does not make any noise when I take her beyond her limit. Can you imagine she even warns you?
Guy 2. Have you tried speed governors?

It goes on and on and no, no end......Then while you are still at it, you realize it is a car. Why do guys give their cars all the attention in the world and when it comes to women it's second place?

I have noticed that so many men (young and old, they are all the same) would rather have a cool car than own a home. Like he will sleep in the car. It is common in Uganda to see a man park his car next to a mzigo where he stays. Men!! style up. Why cant their priorities be assets instead of liabilities?
A car may be a necessity but it ain't an asset. Yes, there is insurance but what happens when you are thrown out of a rented house? You cannot move into a car, however, big or grand or how many with personalised plates.

Talk of personalised plates, I wont go there coz Baz did it very well. Unlike in developed countries, cars in our developing countries are mostly second hand. This means someone somewhere used it first before you could get your hands on it. You are only lucky enough to be handed down the car's problems when you buy it. How simple can one point it out.

Then there is this craze of buying cars to have the latest number plates series. Someone please educate these men especially. The latest number plates do not mean the lates models...it s so obvious.

I'm sure guys will be reading through this over and over and failing to understand what's so hard to click: cars are more important than a house!

Priority is influenced heavily by testosterone. :oD

Actually, me, I think I have priorities you would kind of agree with. I don't even want a car. Too much traffic jam, you know.
