I'd be surprised if we were ever without one, I get bored too easily.

We've had 13 cars in the past 10 years including the ones we currently have.
I think I have you beat. I thought I was being good not having done any switching in over 2 years...

I've had 7 cars in the past 5 years. Longest car that I've ever owned is my S2000: almost 3 years.

# Women rarely pee on your car's wheels.
# Women can cook. (and do the washing and ironing)
# Women don't normally drag their butt along the ground whilst you're talking to friends.
# Women generally smell better.
# Women don't step on your crotch quite so frequently (thank goodness).
# Women don't dig holes in your new lawn.
# Women rarely hump your leg in public.
# Women don't chew on your shoes.
# Women are allowed in most restaurants.
# Women can let themselves out when they need a pee at 2am.


Pete, you stick with dogs, I'll stick with women
1. My list was longer.

2. Your list is flawed:

2a. Women may not pee on your wheels, but they will sure as hell piss all over the idea of buying a new sports car at some point.
2b. Women CAN cook, clean and do laundry. Find one that does, then we'll talk.
2c. Women won't LET you talk to your friends anymore. Your friends aren't good enough, you will only be allowed to talk to HER friends.
2d. Women dig holes in your lawn, or make you do it, so they can plant flowers, trees, shrubs, etc. it's a PITA and really interfers with the watching of Football.
2e. Women may be allowed in restraunts, but you end up paying for it. The dog is happy with the scraps you bring home.
2f. They still feel the need to wake you up so you know.

I'm not saying there aren't good reasons to have women around. I'm just saying you have NOT picked most of them. ;-)

I had my S2000 for 4 1/2 years. That's the longest I've ever had a car.

The shortest timeframe I have ever had a new car was a 2002 S-10, I bought it brand new and traded up for a 2002 Silverado after 4 mos.

^ The shortest for me was my 92 VW Corrado, I owned it for a year and it spent half of that at the dealership being fixed all the time.

The plus side of that was that my brother let me borrow his 94 RX7 for 3 months while it was being fixed...really liked that car.

You just don't know the right woman...
