Pronunciation: ee rot oka

Sentence: Hot Rod, that's what the girls called him. He was hot and his name was Rod. But Rod was oblivious to the hungry stares of the girls around. He only had eyes for his sweetie, the wicked Fuelina. She had curves, she was powerful, she purred like a kitten when Rod got her going. They spent an inordinate amount of time together. Rod's mom was worried, because the neighbours complained that he & Fuelina "carried on" in the driveway until all hours. With her classy chassis and need for speed, Rod was mesmerized by her. One day, Rod's dad took him aside and told him a few hard truths. "Son, when I was your age, I thought I was in love, too, with Maggie. But I soon realized that it wasn't really love, it was just erautoca. There was no future for us and she gew old and worn out long before I did. The same thing will happen to you. She's a lovely car, but she'll break your heart. Soon the spark will die and you'll be looking for a newer model. Enjoy her while you can, but get yourself a real girl to marry and settle down with...no car lasts forever and you don't want to end up alone and taking the bus!"

Etymology: erotica (creative activity (writing or pictures or films etc.) of no literary or artistic value other than to stimulate sexual desire) & Auto (short for automobile, vehicle)
