I think maybe to men, their cars are an extension of their
protrusion.
*GASP!!
Did I just say that?!!

Anyways, I always say, if you hawk your car and material wealth and
then get an ultra-materialistic girlfriend, don't whinge about it
later because you get what you ask for. 
Likewise, if you try to get a guy based on how pretty / sexy you
look, and then he later leaves you for a sweeter, sexier, prettier
looking young thing, well, it won't be that much of a
surprise.
