Liked it, thanks for posting. Never ceases to amaze me how much an impression working and driving on ones cars makes on a person, especially when growing up.
pretty much justified keeping my first, wrecked, car at the end of my driveway a little bit longer now. There were at least a dozen things broken on it at any given time when it was drivable and there was always a way to either 'fix' or jiggle it a certain way to get it working.
So i could relate to the statement that even though automobiles are machines, some flaws, such falling apart due to neglect and age, open a door for a bond to form giving a machine an attribute only truly known by the owner--character.
or you could call it making the best of what you have; a car that's been neglected and is now being appreciated. Either way, it's hard to prevent a content owner from seeing it any other way.
