I liked the vid. I was hoping for a little more substance from it though lol. Kind of annoying music.

But to your point, I know what you mean. I fell in love with my car. Now I'm getting a divorce. She's been sitting in the driveway for a week, and my bike is getting more attention than it has for two years. I really miss my car being carefree. Now when I drive it I always listen for weird noises. Its just not fun anymore. I dunno, I sat in it Wednesday night and did my homework. lol, I feel weird that I've become so close to a piece of metal, but I feel glad that someone else realizes that some cars have souls.

I feel the same way about my car. Also the reason why I've decided to pretty much keep it forever. If the engine blows out, I'll get a brand new one in it. The car just has too much sentimental value to me and I've spent countless hours driving and making it look pretty.

That was a pretty cool video. I'm glad the owner decided to keep the car with a brand new engine in it.

That video. Awesome.

I go through a love/hate phase with my car all the time. No real reason to hate it since it's been wicked reliable, but I think I get bored with it sometimes, I need to mod more stuff.

I am sure they do, but it sure isn't going to be cheap from the dealer. lol

this video makes me miss my sedan. a lot. I spent so many hours with that car even if it was doing nothing but driving home alone late at night in the rain listening to music and then staring at it in the garage just thinking about how I love the car I drive. I don't have that emotional attachment that I had with that car with my avant... just figured I'd share. it's a nice video.
Thats how I felt about my RX7. I have so many memories driving that car. It was my first car and I put over 33,000 miles on it in a year and a half just driving locally for the most part. Had my share of close calls, with the law and life.

I'm lovin' my A4 so far though. A much needed and nice improvement!
