Experienced Female Mechanic Goes On a Man Hunt

I'm searching for a new man.
			(My lemon quit on me.)
			I'm a discerning seeker.
			(The smallest dent, I'll see!)

			I want a younger fellow;
			(Low mileage is a must.)
			Required is great get-up-and-go
			(an engine with no rust).

			He should desire me in his lap.
			(Seat warmers feel so good.)
			He's gotta be in tiptop shape.
			(I'll know what's under the hood!)

			Low-maintenance, I value.
			(oil changes quarterly)
			He must look good and make me proud.
			(Buffed shine, I love to see.)
					
			Trustworthiness, I so desire.
			(Don't like those tow truck calls!)
			He must always keep pace with me.
			(Don't want a thing that stalls.)
