Talking Does Your Car Have Feelings?

I came across this UK survey and had a laugh......

Come to think of it...I quite often think my car has a "SOUL".


Half (47%) of all car owners in the UK talk to their motors on a regular basis. The survey which polled 2000 car owners on their relationship with cars, also found a third (40%) believe their car has a personality and is capable of being upset whilst one in five (19%) worry about how their car is feeling. The survey also found half of drivers on the road regularly congratulate their cars on a job well done, give words of encouragement ahead of a long journey and even discuss problems with them.

Cheaper than counselling.

I believe it... My car gets jealous when I drive another vehicle and is usually pissed when I get back in her. But after two years, we are starting to get to know eachother better. She doesn't get quite as jealous anymore...

Since when is 40% a third?

I don't talk to my car much more than any other inanimate object, though I do so quite frequently.

HELL MUTHAFUCKIN YEA MY CAR HAS FEELINGS!! When I treat her good, she treats me great. In fact, she treats me better than my ex-girlfriend used to(this probably explains why I have an EX-girlfriend).

I'm not sure if my car has feelings but I do find myself giving those words of encouragement from time to time.

I've always believed that your car will treat you as well as you treat it.
