Cars and drugs are easy to handle compared to women.

Booze and cars don't help flush the prostate out, though...

WOMEN!!!

Car problems can always be reduced to just a question of money. Alcohol is under one's own control and one's own responsability.

no brainer there. IF you have to ask you clearly don't like women enough to be considered "heterosexual".

I meant that in the nicest possible way.

OOOPS. I voted before actually reading the gist of the thread. I thought the question would be what one prefers over the other two. I chose cars

please strike my vote and place it in the "women" column

Usually the alcohol is the cause of the women trouble!

I've had several g/f's give the "it's either me or the car" ultimatum. One chick I went out with last summer (you've seen her pix )

Sometimes I miss them, but my aim is improving.

told me that the sheer amount if time I spent working on the shop (I was still building it) and the 911 was equivalent to cheating.

I do have a Land Rover that could be comparable to women. Damn thing has a mind of its own. Don't let me get started on the electrical gremlins..

Women - Either love them or leave them.

Ahhh good ol' Alkyhaul. I hear beer googles can cause some trouble but that would be self inflicted.

Women by far

Drugs, cars, and alcohol are predictable and easy to control in comparision.

Boy, that's a tough call. (sarcasm) I don't even have to hesitate. "It's been fun, honey, I wish you all the best." I haven't met a woman yet who'd persuade me to leave the Porsche for her.

My wife is easy-going and rational. I wouldn't have married her otherwise.

I tend not to drink to excess, just to a nice, relaxing, comfortable buzz.

My cars always costs me more money than I think they will, and my only brushes with the law (speeding tickets) have been because of my cars.
