Stephen King was onto something with Christine. Drivers who give their cars human traits - calling them he or she, or naming them - My 86 Mazda is named Burden, because he truly is a Burden. I prefer to refer to the purchase of him as a lesson rather than a mistake, if you know what I mean. Its not even a love/hate relationship, because that would indicate feelings, and thats giving Burden way too much credit right there. However, Burden would make the perfect road rage vehicle, as I would be more willing to punt someone off the road or brake check a tailgater in Burden than in my 99 S10, Jessie. Now Jessie, shes generally a good girl, and shes way more fun to drive than Burden. However, she is more susceptible to roadside failures and vandalism, and I wouldnt engage in road rage with her. What about you?
