JeanieS: New Ride Ain’t As Good

You would not believe this. I think my cars have personalities. Really. I have a little red Suzuki Swift that I bought brand new in 1989. “She” is tops. Fantastic mileage (40 mpg), doesn’t go through oil, likes to travel, never talks back to me, no dings or dents, the upholstery is still perfect. She’s a little gem. And then two years ago, while she was innocently parked across the street along a vacant lot lined with boulders, she was creamed by a drunk driver who sideswiped her totally from back to front and then smashed the other side by squishing her against the boulders. I got up at 3:00 in the morning right after it happened and all I could do was stand there in my jammies and stare. I couldn’t believe this had happened to my trusty excellent little car. So I bought a new car and Mechanic Man parked Little Red in the garden. The new one just doesn’t have my heart/ JeanieSpokane (who’s 15 days, 14 hours & 45 minutes from her 60th birthday), Nuts & Nonsense. More here .

Question: Do vehicles have personality, as Jeanie contends?
