I THOUGHT THIS ONE WAS FAIRLY OBVIOUS

After having "automotive issues", blogdaughter Boudicca of Boudicca's Voice sums it up thusly:

"Men and their cars. I don’t get it."

Why do men love things that run smoothly for the longest time, then sputter for no reason?

Why do men love things become suddenly non-functional with no warning?

Why do men love things that respond with an indifferent clicking noise in the morning, just because you forgot one little wrist-flick to the ignition the night before?

Why do men love things that set off frightening alarms and warning lights when - in truth - the thing that's being warned of is NOT the actual cause?

Why do men love things that are temperamental and tricky to operate, requiring awkward maneuvers to keep running - maneuvers they never taught you in school, that you had to discover through trial and error, and that are never the same from one love object to the next?

I have no freakin' clue.

But I imagine that it's the same reason men love women.

If she didn't see this coming then she may want to wake up.

Hey, easy there big guy. I run smooth... smooth as glass. ;-) Just talk to my husband! heh heh heh

BTW, Consumer Reports just came out with their most reliable vehicles and MY mini-van was the ONLY mini-van that ranked above average.

I didn't see his temperamental POS on that list. Probably because they don't make 'em anymore.

I saw the punchline coming from a mile away, but it still made me laugh.

Funny thing, my wife was a bit less amused.
