You think I’m joking but I’m not. I remember reading several years ago about a guy who tried to marry his car.
I thought it was so crazy I never forgot it.
Here’s the article.
Man wants to marry his car, clerks say no

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Many men have had love affairs with their cars. Buster Mitchell wanted to make it official.
Jilted by his girlfriend, a bereft Mitchell decided he wanted to marry his true love - his 1996 Mustang GT.
“I’ve been broken hearted and hung out to dry, so I am going to the courthouse and try to marry my car,” Mitchell said before attempting to get a marriage license Thursday.
Mitchell, 28, didn’t get very far in the application before the clerk dashed his dreams. Only men and women can marry under Tennessee law, officials explained.
It was sometime after he listed his fiance’s birthplace as “Detroit,” her father as “Henry Ford” and her blood type as “10-W-40” that his plans sputtered.
“Well, in California they are doing same-sex marriages,” he said. “So we are here in Tennessee. Why can’t we do the good ol’ boy thing and marry our cars and trucks?”
Mitchell said he isn’t giving up. He plans to try at a couple of wedding chapels in the Great Smoky Mountains.
I remember a story long ago about a man who was secretly sodomizing cars at night. He was discovered when he visited a vehicle whose tailpipe had not yet cooled off.
