I'm not really sure why, but when referring to my car(s) I've pretty much always called them "she" or "her"? Anyway, I've owned plenty of vehicles over the past 30 years(I'm sure some of you noticed I switch vehicles quite often), and my first car, a '65 Chevrolet Biscane (sorry to you young guys who have no idea what that is) and that car was literally just a large hunk of metal that provided transportation(barely) and mosquito control, but I can tell you that I have had some special cars in my life, and a lot of them were Mustangs and they were more than just a hunk of metal to me. I wouldn't spend endless hours getting every little swirl mark out, and polishing, and waxing every month or two if I thought they were just a hunk of metal. I think it's great the way you feel about your car, and I respect guys/gals that appreciate their vehicle and do their best to keep them looking and running their best.

I'm certainly ,not looking down my nose at those who drive said vehicles,nor
did I mean to insult same... I was merely attempting to convey my perspective
of the human/car relationship.My good lady wife drives a 02 Saturn Vue,whom she calls "winston"...I seldom drive the thing...it has early "fly by wire "power steering...scary! for me...and my other car is a Moped.

[QUOTE=ChadStang;190387 like seeing your grandma naked[/QUOTE]
I have not seen your grand ma naked,
but alas yes, I have seen mine...and the counselling I have been getting has helped some...I no longer stutter and i have regained the use of my right hand ,which allows me to drive a 5 speed ...although I sometimes blow the shift from 2nd to third under duress,me thinks its the shifter maybe?
