So here it is, I have decided to break people down as car's...this could sound harsh but when it come down to it, are some of the people in your life worth the maintenance, how much you have to put into them and is the pay off worth it. Last thing most of us want is some thing you spend more time repairing rather then enjoying.
Unfixed cars rust and get recycled, and they don't feel a damn thing on the way.
You can't necessarily fix people, and sometimes the best course is to walk away, but I'm hesitant to judge whether someone's worth the effort based on whether I get enough enjoyment out of the exercise.
Just another perspective.
My buddy's wife has been described as a porsche 911 with bad synchros and a weak clutch.
My buddy says his ex goes from zero to bitch in under three seconds.

Be careful there, the rebuttal is "Who asked whom to get married?"
When I was a kid I used to think that Danno on Hawaii five oh looked like the front end of my dad's '59 implala.

In reply to bravenrace:
Oh wait, no. It wasn't Danno at all, it was they guy who played Special Agent Jim Rhodes on the TV show FBI. Yeah, he looked a lot like a '59 Impala.
I always see salesman and think that they'd be cast as Lexuses (Lexi?) in a future Pixar 'Cars' movie.
I work with a bunch of these guys:
my buddy Pokey is kinda like my corvette. Not the fastest out there, not the most reliable, but always fun to hang out with when it's running right.
Gimp is like my big chevy dually. i don't need to see it every day to know it's there for me when i need it, and sometimes i drive it just because. kinda like when i used to hop in the car for a ride to maryland to visit him just because i felt like it, or made an excuse like he needed a part so i hand delivered it 6 hours away instead of paying fedex 1/20 the cost of my gas to do so.

Oh, he knows he is an idiot for marrying her. Don't know how that is relevant to the topic...
In reply to Woody:
E36 M3 suckers?
What it came down to is when your always there for them, but when you need them to slightly divert out of there way for you, they cant do it. "Corvette" friends are always nice, but p.o.s "Ferrari" that catch fire on a moments notice gets a little E36M3 for me.
I think the OP's first statement is pretty funny considering most of us have rusty old heap cars that we haven't got running yet sitting in garages gathering dust....
My girl's like a 1 year old Galant VR-4, no issues, doesn't need repair, looks FANTASTIC in Belize Green, and is quiet and unassuming on the outside and a BLAST on the inside. Unfortunately I'M the twenty year old one in the driveway.
Time to exercise the wrenches.
