Eddie the Love Bug

Via Mark Shea comes news of a Washington man who has a fetish for cars. A real fetish. Excerpt:

Edward Smith, who lives with his current "girlfriend" – a white Volkswagen Beetle named Vanilla, insisted that he was not "sick" and had no desire to change his ways.

"I appreciate beauty and I go a little bit beyond appreciating the beauty of a car only to the point of what I feel is an expression of love," he said.

"I'm a romantic. I write poetry about cars, I sing to them and talk to them just like a girlfriend. I know what's in my heart and I have no desire to change."

He added: "I'm not sick and I don't want to hurt anyone, cars are just my preference."

Mr Smith, 57, first had sex with a car at the age of 15, and claims he has never been attracted to women or men.

But his wandering eye has spread beyond cars to other vehicles. He says that his most intense sexual experience was "making love" to the helicopter from 1980s TV hit Airwolf.

Who are you to tell him he's wrong? Bigot.

Eric W you're making that up. - Posted by: mm | May 28, 2008 12:08 AM

No I am not. I can give you names and places. The church was New Creation Fellowship in Denton, TX, and the woman's name was Janae Terry and her husband's name was Joe Terry. It was a 1986 Honda Accord, champagne beige. We put nearly 200,000 miles on it before a woman hit it from behind and totaled it.

Well.

I guess that answers the nagging question, "Why tarry the wheels of his chariot?"

Eric -- does the name Teague McKamey mean anything to you? This thread is about to become a second-pager, so e-mail me privately if the answer is "yes" -- richardtenor (AT) gmail.com.
