Honestly, why anyone would come onto Odd-Match and put in ‘cars’ as their main interest is beyond me. This is why they shouldn’t allow manual entry; the list of available interests is already so immensely broad that you shouldn’t need to manually enter anything anyway. It would certainly prevent these Chads from trying to join our appropriately-exclusive group.
We’re not just into cars, you see, but their voices. Not in a spiritual sense, mind you, but some people may see it that way.
No, you see, each car has a unique voice that it can use to tell you all sorts of things. Mechanics will know this, even if they use the information differently. I asked around my local Bentleigh car mechanic garages, and there was at least some acknowledgement that this is the truth, although they mostly use it for listening to see if there’s anything wrong with the engine. That is…one use. However, there are many.
Here at the Automobile Speech Interpretation Society, we believe that by simply listening, we can develop a greater understanding and bond with our vehicles. We currently have four members and we’re still growing! Kyle, for example, owns a motorcycle and says that it makes a very distinct purring when it’s full of fuel, which he takes as a sign that it’s full and content. I myself own a Hilux, and there’s a low, powerful-yet-subtle rumbling it makes when I’m driving along, eating takeaway and I just brush the crumbs onto the floor. My cars like to be clean, is what I’m saying.
I asked the garages doing car servicing in Bentleigh East and they said more or less the same things, and they know cars! Well…they said that cars with no oil in them and with loose parts tend to be a bit rumbly, but that’s getting there, I think.
