salmon38, my wife is german. She refers to my bird as "the new Baby". Oder "die neue kind". I'm the only one changing its diapers though.
I refer to my 68 Firebird as "My Iraqi Freedom", as it was paid for by the money I saved while fighting in Iraq this year.
"Deine Mervitzstoi", your tax dollars helped me buy this beautiful 68 Firebird! Thank you all for being great Americans! Even if you cheated a little on taxes like I do, thank you for bringing my dream of owning this car to fruition!
'68 428 HO M3 Monster, 4-on-the-floor! Need I say more?
