"if you get erotic with your car I really think you should tell a therapist not me!"
LOL I don't have a car, but you made me laugh and I think this is a great contest idea. Nice job

This is actually my first poem about a car. It was a very interesting idea, good job!
-
Ohhhh when I clicked on this I thought that this was a poem titled "I like driving in my car". Now that I have clicked on this though I will have to try to write a poem. I really don't like driving though I find it really boring. But I've had some really bad (monsters) of cars in the past so I'm gonna try and write a poem for this contest.

This is cute. Reading your contest i thought about my very first car...he had a name...Rasputen...lmao. He was a smart car. It was a Vette! (okay, a chevette...but still!haha) Good luck getting tons of entries.

Good idea
I love your background and this is a really cute idea for a contest. I don't have a car at this juncture but I'd love to have a PT Cruiser or one of those new VW bugs or a Mustang or....
Have you ever heard Janis Joplin song. "Oh Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz". (Excuse me while I clear my throat.) Oh Lord won't you buy me a PT Cruiser or maybe a VW Bug just like old Herbie. Oh Lord won't you buy me a Pt Cruiser or even a Mustang so this contest I can enter. Amen
