Thoughts on a Suggestive World, vol. I, Cars

As I was working on a '66 Chevy today, I found myself giggling. Why? Because the Earth is filled with innuendos and sexual references. You don't even have to dig. My favorites? I'll give you a few.

• "Lube this up so I can stick it in."
• "Poke your finger in and see if you can feel the bump"
• "No, no, no. You've gotta twist the nipple, and the goop will come out the top."

And apparently, grease can now be interpreted to mean splooge. Huh. Maybe it's partly me; okay, it's ALL me. I just can't help feeling... satisfied, when even the most sound-minded of us lets a tight-lipped smile through. Why are cars so sexually pervasive? Only Bob Lutz knows. I am content.
