Fleabag, what type of car does he have?

If not Miata, he would probably be happy with one of those know as H1, H2, or H3...what are those called?

Kawasaki motorcycles from the seventies?

Crappy rusty stuff you drag home is much like a girlfriend, it's personal, it's emotional, it's unjustifiable, it's unique and it's yours. You know what it is but you see the potential.

While I appreciate your enthusiasm, it could be that your opinion of cool car crap is different than his.

Perhaps a better gift would be a hand made gift card redeemable for two nights of labor in the garage (of course you'll bring the wine).

Get into his head a little bit and you won't have to ask us, you'll be showing us.

Just so y'all know...I just found out that I'm the subject of this thread.

Laughing lots right now. More to come soon (to show that a lot of your suggestions were right-on and such)

My awesome Maggie (a name I like exponentially more than the phony screen name she came up with) made my day just by posting a thread here. She's in my head, alright ;)

Like...my car already doesn't have much paint on the hood (photo forthcoming)

I've already introduced her to the ways of soaking stuff in vinegar (in the kitchen, typically)

There are crankshafts that are rusty that can be stolen from my stash without my even realizing.

There aren't any autocrosse events nearby, but She comes out and participates in Back 40 activities with me : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5OcFcyLwDY&list=UUkQCyoKqfLkieBjkxMMvpjw&i...

Good stuff...good stuff!

What do you get for the guy who has Maggie? Nothing...he's already got everything he needs!

You've got a little something on your nose. It looks brown.

I was just going to call it bragging...but whatever floats your boat ;)

Bragging is good when you have a keeper. Anyone who calls it something else is just brown with envy.

In reply to JoeyM: Were you saying I should get him a miata? I know he would like that, but...I think I'll go with the subscription. Getting him a miata would take 3/4 of the fun out of it for him.

Thanks, you guys came through!

you could get him a rusty Miata ....

go with the subscription

Well, please tell Maggie my post was in jest, I thought she might be a canoe with that screen name. I like her style.

So, inquiring minds want to know...
Oxidizing musical instruments or HMMWV ?

I'll refer you all to the case of kissing vs. telling.

Well, we already have Honda motorcycles from the 70s.

Well, let's see...it used to be red, but most of the paint on the hood is gone already, so the whole grind the paint off the hood thing is no good. It has two doors and he loves it--but everyone else is like, "why do you have that?"

Seriously, though a Mazda 323.

It has grown on me and get's great mileage.

Thanks, Mojo. No worries, but glad to hear it. Glad to see there are some ladies on here!

I do believe you just coined something gross. Something Japanese-esque and hideous one gets or gives: "a Kawasaki". Now go fill out an Urban Dictionary entry and come tell us all what it is.

And for inquiring minds...I went with the subscription. But I also knew he would get a kick out me posting here and I'd do anything to give him a kick!
Feb. 15, 2012 9:39 p.m. FleaBag New Reader

Oh, hey--thanks everyone for all the suggestiongs!

Glad you liked them. We have more suggestions if needed.

AKA, a two-stroke triple. You guys are disgusting

I'd prefer two triple-strokes. [rimshot]

Every time I see the title of this thread I misread: "My boyfriend likes rusty carpets" - which sounds dirty.

In reply to ClemSparks:

This is awesome! Tell Maggie she's a keeper!

(Maggie, if it's OK, I'd rather not refer to you as "Fleabag").

I didn't bother to open it until I noticed it is past v day and it still lives.

You guys suck at advice. The answer was "blow job".
