I decided I love my car. I have 98 Honda Civic LX, green, with a shmuz sticker, and I love it. It sometimes needs work, but generally it runs nicely and goes where I want it to go. And I got 45 miles per gallon on the highway when I put it on cruise control at 60 MPH.
When it becomes legal in NY, I’m going to marry it.
June 26, 2011 6:08 am at 6:08 am #1113617ZeesKiteParticipantAnd I have to divorce my car. Mechanic says he’s not touching it any more. Has to do with some leak in ‘the mechanical matter’.
Inspection runs out tonight. Looking for new prospects..
June 26, 2011 6:17 am at 6:17 am #1113618yossi z.Member@zees: wait, you have a car at nine years old? =D
😀 Zuberman! 😀

Had – to be more precise. Actually I still have it, but I think there’s some complications as to ???? ????? or something of that sort. If it doesn’t take care of itself (like something whitish billowing out from under the hood…) Any nine year old could get possession of that sort.
June 26, 2011 6:39 am at 6:39 am #1113620ronrsrMembermy grandmother advised me never to love something that could not love you back.
June 26, 2011 6:44 am at 6:44 am #1113621sheinMemberSo you don’t love cats?
June 26, 2011 6:47 am at 6:47 am #1113622yossi z.Memberwhat, a cat can’t love back?
😀 Zuberman! 😀
June 26, 2011 6:49 am at 6:49 am #1113623sheinMemberNone I met.
June 26, 2011 6:57 am at 6:57 am #1113624yossi z.Memberthe ones that i have met definitely showed affection (and appreciation). once we are on the topic what about dogs?
😀 Zuberman! 😀
June 26, 2011 7:01 am at 7:01 am #1113625sheinMemberLove?
If so, maybe you can marry them in NY now.
June 26, 2011 7:05 am at 7:05 am #1113626bombmaniacParticipantpopa…its nice to know youre a chofetz chaim guy 😀 join the club!
June 26, 2011 9:18 am at 9:18 am #1113627600 Kilo BearMemberI love jaguars, especially the ones between 6 months and 2 years of age. That is why I pay a couple of chevre who graduated Rikers to trap them for me, and then I adopt them as pets. They sure drink a lot of gasoline.
June 26, 2011 11:45 am at 11:45 am #1113628flowersParticipantonce saw a quote: “Do something for your dog, he’ll think of you as god, do something for your cat, he’ll think he’s god.”
Self centered people act like the cat.

What gave it away, the car or the shmuz sticker?
June 26, 2011 2:16 pm at 2:16 pm #1113630ShrekParticipantmy car and I remain good friends, but I’m not sure how committed this relationship is. a civil union is as far as I’m willign to go.
June 26, 2011 2:47 pm at 2:47 pm #1113631yossi z.Membershein: i hear where you are making a differentiation. ok then well yes i never loved a cat 😛
i still can’t really believe i even posted on this thread but what do you want from a guy at two in the morning? (don’t ask what i was doing up it would take too long to explain)
😀 Zuberman! 😀

I actually did buy the car from a guy in the chofetz chaim kollel. But I put the shmuz magnet on myself–I didn’t know it was a chofetz chaim thing. But I’ll still leave it on, I like it. It gives my car personality, and I wouldn’t want to marry something with no personality.
June 26, 2011 4:57 pm at 4:57 pm #1113633minyan galMemberpopa_bar_abba – Please promise to send me an invitation to the chasaneh. I have never been to NY and if I am invited to a simcha, well I always attend simchas. I hope they don’t change the law too quickly (which I doubt as the lawmakers are all tuckered out from the last marriage laws that they changed – they need a rest) because Canada is in the midst of a postal strike, so I won’t get my invitation. Please wait until the strike is over. Also, will your gift registry be at Amoco or Exxon?
ps: when you break the glass, don’t do it too close to the tires.
June 27, 2011 1:51 am at 1:51 am #1113634deiyezoogerMemberI would love to marry my car, it’s never talking back to me…
June 27, 2011 2:04 am at 2:04 am #1113635a maminParticipantPoppa; I think you are obsessed withy the news maybe you should get some therapy?? Wheres Health? I’M sure thats what he/she would recommend!
June 27, 2011 2:10 am at 2:10 am #1113636deiyezoogerMemberThere was a shocking study that found 50% of people are talking to their cars, the shocking part was that half the drivers dont!!
June 27, 2011 1:28 pm at 1:28 pm #1113637zahavasdadParticipantA car cannot consent, a person can
June 27, 2011 6:31 pm at 6:31 pm #1113638minyan galMemberpopa- GREAT NEWS!!! You may have your wedding anytime now as the Canadian postal strike is now over – I just read the news here on YWN. Please send my invitation to:

New home of the Winnipeg Jets.
I think that should do it. When Canada Post is working at their best they are able to track almost anyone down. A few years ago, a friend of mine received a letter addressed to “Auntie Shelley” with the name of her street underneath – no numbers – and she got the letter. In approximately 1920, my father’s uncle received a letter from his brother in Russia addressed to “Joe Shmoe (pseudonym) – Canada”. He also received his letter. So, in this computerized day and age, they should have no trouble finding me.
I am so excited – I will be coming to New York – and for a simcha!
June 27, 2011 7:05 pm at 7:05 pm #1113639adorableParticipantso you are a shmuz guy? cool
June 27, 2011 11:36 pm at 11:36 pm #1113640popa_bar_abbaParticipantNo, not a shmuz guy. I just like the sticker.
June 28, 2011 2:35 pm at 2:35 pm #1113641adorableParticipantisn’t that geneivas daas? you make ppl think you are shmuz guy when you’re not. either become one (his stuff is great) or take the sticker off.
(I’m joking!)
March 9, 2014 3:51 pm at 3:51 pm #1113642popa_bar_abbaParticipantI just installed a new blower motor resistor on my poor car. It was only blowing when on 3 or 4.
March 9, 2014 4:21 pm at 4:21 pm #1113644☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantThanks for the update.
I couldn’t sleep at night, wondering how your car was doing.
March 9, 2014 4:48 pm at 4:48 pm #1113645TheGoqParticipantLOL DY
March 9, 2014 5:09 pm at 5:09 pm #1113646👑RebYidd23ParticipantI don’t have a running car. I guess I’ll have to marry a Matchbox car.
March 9, 2014 5:30 pm at 5:30 pm #1113647feldmanechussidMemberYou should totally call your car “the shmuz cruise”! It sounds like a real jalopy though.
March 9, 2014 5:38 pm at 5:38 pm #1113648feldmanechussidMemberWhere do you take a car on a shidduch date? What hotel has a big enough lobby? If guys fill out blue forms and girls pink forms, what forms do cars fill out? There are a whole host of new halachik questions here.
March 9, 2014 9:19 pm at 9:19 pm #1113649👑RebYidd23ParticipantVehicles are female, except for some motorcycles. When you go on a date, both drive, and you remain in the parking lot where she is comfortable.
March 18, 2014 7:04 pm at 7:04 pm #1113650popa_bar_abbaParticipantAnd now I also installed a new blower motor.
March 18, 2014 7:19 pm at 7:19 pm #1113651☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantStill cheaper than maintaining a human wife.
March 18, 2014 9:41 pm at 9:41 pm #1113653👑RebYidd23ParticipantHey, nowadays many women are the ones earning the money. Be fair.
March 18, 2014 11:14 pm at 11:14 pm #1113654squeakParticipantIf only we could get our cars to have baby cars for us, it would all be over.
March 18, 2014 11:20 pm at 11:20 pm #1113655👑RebYidd23ParticipantWhat would be over?
August 8, 2014 2:57 am at 2:57 am #1113656☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantPopa, how’s your car doing?
August 8, 2014 3:16 am at 3:16 am #1113657SayIDidIt™ParticipantDY, you got some good lines on this thread!

August 8, 2014 3:22 am at 3:22 am #1113658popa_bar_abbaParticipantMy mechanic zogt az it needed a new wheel bearing today.
Also it needed a new wheel bearing today.
Those were two different statements.
The first was the reason for the second.
It made noise, and now it doesn’t, but I have no idea if there was just a pebble, or a loose nut, or the wheel bearing was going bad. But it needed a new wheel bearing, because that was the price I had to pay to get my mechanic to fix whatever it was that was making the noise. And I definitely needed to fix that noise.
So you see, my mechanic said it needed a new wheel bearing, and it did.
This is an important lesson for marriage. Your wife says she needs new shoes, and therefore she needs new shoes.
August 8, 2014 4:12 am at 4:12 am #1113659SayIDidIt™ParticipantYou’re funny!
SiDi™
August 8, 2014 5:50 am at 5:50 am #1113660☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantIt was a loose nut, and it was behind the wheel.
August 8, 2014 6:15 am at 6:15 am #1113661SayIDidIt™ParticipantYou’re funny!

August 8, 2014 2:33 pm at 2:33 pm #1113662🐵 ⌨ GamanitParticipantDaasYochid- good one! poppa_bar_abba- this is a painful topic, but now that your car is getting old, I think it’s time to look into life insurance policies.
November 23, 2015 1:39 pm at 1:39 pm #1113663☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantHow’s the car doing? Still holding up?
November 23, 2015 4:11 pm at 4:11 pm #1113664popa_bar_abbaParticipantI don’t have it anymore.
November 23, 2015 5:39 pm at 5:39 pm #1113665☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantAre you paying alimony?
November 23, 2015 8:21 pm at 8:21 pm #1113666blubluhParticipantMy car doesn’t have a Shmuz magnet, but the car itself is a shmutz magnet.
Does that qualify?
November 23, 2015 8:24 pm at 8:24 pm #1113667🍫Syag LchochmaParticipanthi bluhbluh!
