What kinds car is that? At least it deters thieves.
She's from Germany and insist on driving German cars. I should add that she didn't make this clear until after we married. Once I got the papers on her she told me of her German car fetish. She doesn't ask for much so I've always been happy to comply with this one request.
This particular car is a BMW. I wouldn't own one of those sons a b*tches myself. You should see the engine. It looks like a modern art sculpture, a shiny metal box. And inside it has more buttons and switches than the Starship Enterprise. That's wonderful until you have to add wiper fluid or check the oil. Everything is very neat and organized but you have to know the secret clicks, turns, and taps to do anything. Drives me nuts. We have to get the dealer to change the windshield wipers for chrissake.

Re: #79
You're right about the Beemers, Audis, etc. One of my good friends describes it as "Teutonic Engineering Overkill".
