Default Just admit it.

Are you like me? Do you sometimes go out to your garage just to look at your XK-8? You stand there in awe at it's beauty, amazed that you own it. You admire it's lines one more time before you drop off the Coke can in the recycle bin, the Coke can that could have waited until the morning but you used it as an excuse to run out and ogle your baby one more time. It's OK to admit it, hell, I've been doing this since my first car in 1973...a 1966 MGB convertible with wire wheels and overdrive. So it's OK, fess up. You'll be in good company.

Sorry, but no. It's my wife's car and I'm far too tall to fit into the damn thing without a giant shoehorn and a gallon of Wesson oil....

Sometimes, when I know that no one is watching, I'll slip my fingers into one of the exhaust pipes.

Yes me too, but that only leads to an overwhelming desire to wash and wax her, which is just a diversion to keep my mind off the door dings!

Kinky! I like this guy. But there always has been something very sexual, no, sensual… about Jaguar sports cars. Jaguar cars have always been about voluptuous curves and sexy roundish sheet metal. From the C type to the D and E type it's always oozed pure sex.

Yes I do admire my XK8 all the time, it's one of the most beautiful cars on the road. That's why we all own them, my favorite reply when asked how I put up with the sometimes quirky behavior of my Jag is " Anybody can own a Corvette, it takes dedication to own a Jag"!

All of the above and in the winter when she all wrapped up in the garage, just can't resisit running my jands over that rearend. You can just know there is something sexy under that sheet; I mean car cover.
Seems pretty common feelings, guess I should cancel the therapist.

Someone once said, probably on this forum, that if you can walk away from your car without looking back at it...you bought the wrong car.

Hard not to look back at such a sweet, sexy object.
