Girls vs Cars - i dont know which costs more... Non-tech, but interesting...

Okay I have been debating this ever since I got my car. Its the question that has lingered ever since the first hot rod. Which costs more in the long run, and which is worth the money? :P

1.) 12 roses ~ $60
I can sure go a ways on 60 bux worth of gas, or change my oil, or buy new plugs, or a lot of other stuff. The difference is, oil, plugs, gas, whatever, you will notice an immediate improvement. 12 roses might get you a thank you, or if your lucky, more (hehe). I feel sorry for all the rose bushes that my wallet has devoured.

2.) Cars arent as moody
Cars will never complain about you not shaving recently. They don't care how much money you have. They will never complain about what your listening to on the radio. Occasionally, they can be moody, but hopefully not often.

3.) You can rely on a car
I can rely on my car to get me where I want, and maybe have some fun on the way. You never know what it will be like with a girl, or if she will even show up.

In conclusion, I feel that cars are a better long-term investment than girls. :P So next Saturday night when you're thinking of asking a girl on a date, maybe you should wait till next weekend and head out to the local street races or spend the night under your car spinning wrenches. :P I should write a brochure.... lol

P.S. to moderators: C'mon, lemme get a few replies before you lockit down - the "floor mats mod" thread got like 60 before it was locked... lol

For the most part, Your right. Ive spent the last 7-8 Months, almost every weekend, Spinning wrenches under someones Car. Its alot more satisfying

Go with the car.

1. A car will never slap you with a palimony suit or make you pay alimony.
2. A car can be a bitch, but not every month.
3. A car doesn't have a dad you have to meet, so you don't have to worry about bringing it home late.
4. You don't have to buy tampons or maxipads for your car, unless your looking for a cheap way to get that "South of the border" look around you windshield or waxing the car.
5. You can drive a car harder and longer, and it can still look good 20 years from now.
6. A car won't go menstral on you if you deside to trade it in for a younger model.
7. A car doesn't get a headache when you want to play with it.

The list goes on and on.......
