Cars Have Feelings, Too

Treat your car well or it will mistreat you, says our senior writer.

IF you’re into car movies, you might remember a film called Christine. Based on the Stephen King novel, Christine is about a 1958 Plymouth Fury nicknamed Christine, which is demonically possessed.

In one scene, the main character’s girlfriend, Leigh, declares that she hates Christine and smacks its front seat. Christine’s engine abruptly stops. When the protagonist alights to check on the motor, Christine locks the doors and tries to choke Leigh to death.

Now, I’m not saying that cars are sentient beings (although some petrolheads do think this way) that will take revenge on their owners if they feel they’ve been hurt.

However, I do believe that you should treat your car right, regardless of whether you’re a petrolhead or a regular motorist.

It’s no secret that proper and regular maintenance will keep your ride in tip-top condition.
