At my school, all of the Sophomores and Juniors share a parking lot. It runs in a line, straight out of the school. And I usually get a crappy parking spot b/c all of the people who take Flex (it's class at 7, instead of 8:30 so that they get out earlier than everyone else) take the first parking spots closest to school. I'm always the first of the normal release people to get there, so I park in the first available spot. After school, at 3:35, I walk out to my car, and it's the first one everyone sees (since all the Flex people have already left) and I cant help but walk towards it thinking "my god that car is so sexy"

kinda like those lexus commercials: "Honey, who's car is that in the driveway?"
"It's yours Frank."
"It isss.....isssssnnn'tttt it?"

Man I love my car , I'm never getting rid of her.

yep, you know you love your car when you smash an elbow on the side of the rotor housing and blood comes pouring out and all you can think is "jeez she a tough flirter", yes,yes; iv dreamed about making love to my car many times, talked to her, read bed time storys to her, tucked her in at night, huddled with her on stormy nights, gone to the movies with her, blayed volly ball with her, sang songs with her, laughed at jokes with her, the list goes on and on, i have no idea what my life might be like with out my only friend in the world...
yep, you know you love your second gen when hot girls come up to you and ask your name and all you say is "im taken"...

....when you break so many bones working on the car by dropping your transmission on yourself on a clutch job that you get handicap status, and this tragedy fills you with joy b/c you can now park in reserved spaces, free from worry that someone will ding up your doors when they park next to you.
