Description
Have you ever noticed those men that name their cars?Camille, Bertha, Alice, Diane, Baby Girl…
All names of women.
A man once told me that you can’t buy a car without test driving it…
You gotta see how she rides
How she handles his last minute decisions
(to make that wide turn)
How she purrs…
You gotta check out her headlights…
Her interior…
How fast she can go on that speedometer…
And most of all…
How if you strip her down,
Would she still be a beauty?
No one ever thinks about maintenance…
After all those drives…
After all those burnouts…
After all those races…
Who pays for it?
Would he pay for it?
Or would she be stuck on the newspaper ads
Waiting for another
Man to see her as a treasure
Despite the trash that he’s left of her…
Is he a buyer?
Or just another
One of those freeloaders
That sweet-talk their way just to test her…out?
Luxury…
Dependable…
Affordable…
They’re all the same.
Made of the same parts…
With all the same hearts…
A man once told me that you can’t buy a car without test driving it…
Well, for our sake, they better do some background checks.
