A love gone overboard and that’s how it should be

Don’t fall in love and then be practical about it. It is just not cricket to do that.

Be reckless. Do insane and very impractical stuff for your girl. Why limit it to the opposite sex? If there is a car you love, go ahead and buy it. So, you say its rear wheel drive and you live where there’s snow? But if you love that car, she will get you through. You have to be patient. Don’t accelerate your relationship and don’t turn on your feelings to fast. Buy a shovel and plough your way out of trouble. Don’t give up on the car you love merely because practicality wins the debate. Think of the times, when she will shine brightly in the parking lot. Think of the times when you exit the ramp on to the free way and stun yourself to exhilarating speeds.

Stay up the whole night with your girl wrapped in your arms. Stop thinking if you would be awake in the morning class. Let her put whip cream on your face to make you look like a clown if that makes her happy. Who would know and even if they did, should you really care?

Take time to care for her. Wash her, wax her, clean her and make sure she has all her fluids. Drive her carefully at first and then I am sure she would let you push you hard when you want to. Talk to her. Tell her she did well when you have a good ride. Tell her even if you did not.

Don’t select you love based on a quality matrix. And don’t do the same injustice with a car. The way she feels in your arms, there is no quantifying it. Just as there is no quantifying why you like the headlights in that fashion and the fact that she can hold her own in the turn into your house.

Fall in love with the girl who makes you act out of character. Buy a car that is an extension of your character.

Four wheels and a heart.
