DatWifey Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 then it dawned on me after the blow out story from the tacoma guys....a family never leaves any behind ...even that annoying little brother withthe truck that stinks like hot brakes and i9s running hot.... No Datto left behind, whether we know you or not ..... it should be the story of everyone's life. We had no idea who that guy was when we turned around and drove 6 miles back from the direction we had just come from to hit the next off ramp to get back to him, but that didn't matter. He obviously had an issue and seemed beyond grateful that we looped back around to make sure he was all set. I would hope that someone would do the same for us if it was our Datto on the side of the freeway. Treat others as you wish to be treated :console: Quote Link to comment

Cleopatra Jones Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 My 210 is at the 214xxx mark and still going. Was my daily driver for a long time before I got another car to keep him (yes my car is a him) from getting hit. People in LA can't drive! He only left me on the side of the road once and that was 22 ago. Alternator went out. Thank goodness Datsuns are small. I was able to push him to the side of the road. Had a rebuilt engine put in somewhere around the same time but can't remember the mileage. Now I only take him out once in a while. Lot of sentimental value tied up in that car. If someone hit him I'd go to jail for murder. But take care of your Datsun and your Datsun will take care of you. Best little cars ever. Quote Link to comment
the nice machine Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 (yes my car is a him) hahaha my datsuns are males too, the champ and Mr.B i think it is because i want my car to treat me the way my "homeys' do, rather than how my girlfriend does. and it sounds kind of gross when people sexualize cars.

Ha! I like that, the champ. My 210 is Stanley and my Pathfinder is Thadeus. I don't know how that came about. The name just pops up when I get a car. My dad always bought Datsuns (easy to fix and very reliable) but when one of them would act up he'd call it the old boy. So I can't say if it's because I'm female that my cars are male or cause my dad started labeling them that way. If the gf doesn't treat you right get a new one. Honey life is too short. Lord knows Stanley has been more reliable than most bf's I've had (except the one I have now). But I think he feels I may love Stanley more. He just may be correct but I'll never admit it....to his face :) Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 And I think putting bras on cars is even more gross. Quote Link to comment

I don't argue much with the champ and Mr.B! Quote Link to comment

I don't argue much with the champ and Mr.B! I feel ya. No one needs drama. I leave that to the actors here in LA. I don't argue much with Stanley either. Besides his way of winning arguements is staying silent (ie not starting). I swear that car has attitude sometimes. It's comical. Quote Link to comment
