    so i'm writing a paper based on something supernatural. i don't believe in ghosts so i tried to make it car related and i remembered how my truck would get pissed off and things would break, and then i'd be nice and they would fix themselves. so i'd like some other examples and thought this could be a fun topic. so if anybody has stories about how their car responds to how you drive it, tell about it here. and remember, a kiss goodnight goes a long way

    haha nice. but have you guys ever like called it a name and something retarded happened? like, i drove my truck too hard one day and the gasket under the throttle body broke and it sounded like a teapot. A couple people said it was the alternator so i replaced that one day and it didn't do anything. I slammed the door and watched my brake fluid spill out all over the floor. i then went a my mechanic buddy, who fixed both problems, and then i called it a piece of **** and 4 of the 6 bulbs in my taillights burnt out... at the same time.

    My Buick Park Ave would run rough, and all you had to do was take a test drive in some thing else, and it would run great, shift fine. It knew if it didn't quit being a b!T(#, it was going to be traded in.

    my old 77 chevy like to be abused, if i looked at another car or woman it would get pissy and run rough start hard, ect ect, but if i gave it a bit of domestic abuse it would act great, it like a nice slap on the dash, some dirty names. she just liked abuse alot, after the abuse i would have to treat her nice and cuddle but she wouldnt act up again till i pissed her off about once a month. come to think of it, it leaked tranny fluid sometimes. must have been on its rag.

    The relationship between my car is like a love/hate relationship, you start to feel more comfortable with it then, bam! it shreds a transmission, few months later i start liking it again, Bam! Chips two pistons... It just goes on and on. It's like it knows that i will not get rid of it or something.

    I think my car got depressed once... i took a wrx for a test drive, then for a couple of days my gp would not start right up and she felt sluggish and lacking throttle response.. but as soon as i changed my mind and decided to keep her she was fine

    i thought it was just in my head but after hearing you guys....

    my beretta was like that, if anyone or i talked bad about her she would break. my friend didnt believe me and said heres sarah with her p.o.s. as i was backing up into a parking place and the rack and pinion literally exploded. so i learned real quick to be sweet and nice to her.

    My car is not alive, nor does it have a personality. If anything it just does what I tell it to.
