A while back the NYT had an article on gay men who are into old cars. Apparently gay men tend to be into old luxury cars with lots of chrome and fancy accessories. It's weird, as I'd totally fit in with those kind of old car collectors.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Maybe it's the Dead Milkmen song "Bitchin' Camaro" that makes me think they're laughable.
I'm not sure why I love muscle cars so much but honestly I get a warm feeling just hearing the words "muscle" and "car" together. Growing up we never had one. The coolest car we had was an MG Midget but my parents sold it before I could form memories of it. I did ride on the floor at my mom's feet when I was an infant. Maybe the engine's purr is in my blood.

I do love the sound of a big old American V8 firing up....

If you could have any car, money and mechanical needs being no object, what would you drive?

I sincerely hope you did not take my comment personally Nora.
I think I was a little raw and riled up and over-sensitive. I apologize for being overly snippy.
Wow, it's been a while since I got all thin skinned in Bitches. And Hec didn't even have anything to do with it this time!

Compassionately intolerant
In 1983, I bought a 1957 Plymouth Belvedere with 16,000 original miles on it.
It had a push button "Powerflight" transmission, no seatbelts, a tube radio that had to warm up before working and a trunk that could sleep six. It drove like a dream and I loved that car with an unwholesome passion.
I've never felt that way about any other machine, muscle car or no.

'57 was a good year for Chrysler car styling. I think that's the same body as the Fury (like Christine ), right?

No offense taken. I've been there.

I've developed something of a thing for muscle cars, but it's entirely fandom related. (Goats and Rivs and Impalas, oh my!)
