Similarity

To a woman this might seem bazaar;
a new leather dress makes her a star.
Men go weak at the knee,
and speak irrationally;
it’s because she smells like a new car.

Yes, funny. I’ve seen people go absolutely bonkers over cars. To most of us it’s just transportation. To others, it’s a status symbol.

I'm like you Duke - a way to get to point A from point B, but I've known plenty who see cars as heaven on four wheels - and also use a language I don't understand - thanks Duke - Lindsay
