Test Driving

I heard something funny the other night.

Apparently I 'test drive' guys. This is from a male friend- he said I do not go through men like some other single friends do (no one in particular intended!), but that I pass them by en route to a better option. "Oh this guys interesting- coffee, coffee, no." I laugh because it is true. I do not give many an actual chance, or even let them go around the first bend on the drive if we continue with this metaphor.

I do so because as with used cars, there are so many unexpected problems which are not obvious to the untrained eye. At least when you take them for a spin you can weed out the ones who are not necessarily road worthy or who do not plan on following the same route as you!
It is very rare to find a new model as all men have baggage. The key is to get one which is ready for a new owner. Problems which become evident after some testing include ex girlfriends not wanting to let go, crazy and obsessive tendencies, or even downright dullness. I mean given the choice who would settle for a safe and reliable Toyota Corolla when they could be whizzed around in an exciting V8 Dodge Viper? Unfortunately as the name suggests, Viper's are fun for a short time but are not built for a particularly long trip.

So my advice for you begins with deciding what kind of trip you want to be taking. A fast one or a steady one will determine which type of car/man you require. Whilst I myself have always had a bit of a thing for Lamborghini's, I have discovered with plenty of disappointing trips in them that I require more than just flashy looks... Thus I now seek a happy medium- perhaps a Jeep Wrangler. Fun to off-road in, cute, not too pretty, and not too fast to control....
