My kids tell people that I love my beloved ef xr6 more than them.. ( I refuse to answer on grounds that it may incriminate me

It's a good car but I certainly don't love it by any means.

I don't like my E-series at all.... its a daily driver and thats all its good for, thats why i don't spend money on it..its straight its clean and relatively cheap to run so thats the reason why i keep it...
Both my X series cars i prefer to drive over the E series anyday...

How long did it take you to think of that Joe??

My friends do also complain that im too in love with my car, but it shouldn't worry them considering im the dessy driver every weekend. I get more of a blast driving my car than drinking :1syellow1

Geez this is funny to read....
We sounds like real car nuts But driving this, my X-series just can;t compare. The ride in my XR is just so smooth even tho it's lower and got bigger rims/lower profile tyres then my XF (daily). Also the power difference :evil3:

If your a real car owner then you would give anything for your car, Mine gets washed every thursday afternoon after work before i take it out lappin, to show it off. Its not a taxi so i refuse to take people in it (except the misses). and its get a car cover over it when its not being driven. I always thought of putting pillows under the wheels but that might be goin a bit to far lol

Mine's great when everything works. At the moment though, it's sitting outside the mechanic to get a lot of things fixed up on it. I'm not looking forward to the bill. But I love the engine, the interior, and the styling.

I take mine on romantic drives and make love to her after removing her bra with one hand. I spent a little too much time rubbing the cam lobes with assembly lube when I had her apart. She's loud, grumpy and expensive yet the most enjoyable girl friend I've had.

I've had my tongue on almost every panel and have carried my cobra lower inlet manifold around in a backpack whilst catching a train (Rollin will confirm)

What a top thread! I thought I was the only one that had an obsession!

I love my baby....it's my most favorite thing in my life! Is it strange if you have passionately tongue kissed your RHF guard while others watch?

She gets a pat or a kiss on the top of the door frame after I park it at night, and I have a paging alarm and a machete, God help the person that thinks they deserve it more than I do!

It's killing me not being able to wash it every weekend because of these D*mn water restrictions!

I want to shout my Love for my car from on top of a mountain... but I don't have a mountain, all I have is an internet forum and a keyboard - The Sexy XR is #1 news item in Rollins world!


EDIT - yes, I can confirm Ignition did carry his intake manifold around to my house in his backpack, so we could port it before putting it on
