all this car lurve
has reminded me of a Bluetones song called "Autophilia"

which goes like this:

I love your bodywork and
your flashy pop-up lights,
the way you hug the corners,
however fast and tight
she comes in 16 colours,
she'll suck your money dry,
gives shitty mileage but come on lets get inside.

i love your slinky spoilers,
they really speak to me,
state of the art sound system,
leasther unholstery

she purrs just like a kiten,
she seems to throb with pride
gives you the feeling you've been taken for a ride

pay no attention to the signs
no stopping anytime
come park that chassis next to mine
I'm on a double yellow line

Come park that chassis next to mine,
You know
Im on a double yellow liiiiiine...
ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba bah....

I like to burn some rubber,
I like to feel the steel,
I like to put my foot down,
I like to take the wheel,
She purrs just like a kitten
She'll go that final mile
But if she's rocking dont come knocking for a while

Pay no attention to the sign
No stopping anytime
Come park that chassis next to mine
You know
I'm on a double yellow line.
