He likes &#8216;having sex&#8217; with cars. In fact, his last relationship with a human was 12 years ago and he never had sex with her. His current love is Vanilla, a white VW Beetle. The Telegraph profiles Smith and he&#8217;s featured in an upcoming documentary titled &#8216;My Car Is My Lover.&#8217; From The Telegraph:<br \/>\n&#8216;I appreciate beauty and I go a little bit beyond appreciating the beauty of a car only to the point of what I feel is an expression of love,&#8217; (Smith) said. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Maybe I&#8217;m a little bit off the wall but when I see movies like Herbie and Knight Rider, where cars become loveable, huggable characters it&#8217;s just wonderful.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I&#8217;m a romantic. I write poetry about cars, I sing to them and talk to them just like a girlfriend. I know what&#8217;s in my heart and I have no desire to change.&#8217; <\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8216;I&#8217;m not sick and I don&#8217;t want to hurt anyone, cars are just my preference.&#8217;<br \/>\nLink to Telegraph article, Link to YouTube video of Smith<\/p>\n<p>Previously on BB:<br \/>\n\u2022 Man pretends sex with car, busted Link<br \/>\n&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>(Via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boingboing.net\/\" >Boing Boing<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>Currently playing in iTunes: <i>Sombre Reptiles<\/i> by Brian Eno<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Man loves sex with cars: &#8220;Edward Smith, 57, of Washington, is a mechaphiliac.
