Nice love for cars!!!!! I never liked travelling by car. After we came here initially it was tough for me, but when I started driving things changed. I totally fell in love with driving and the Odyssey I drive!!!!
Especially the long distance drives are the best. I love the van for it is very spacious and sturdy. Even my kids identify it as "Amma's Van"... My dd ( 4yrs) told her teacher that her fav. means of transport is "Mommy's Van"!!!!!!!
I personally feel knowing driving, is like having an extra pair of legs... what say!!!

Dear Radhika

You love for cars reminds me of my time I was forced to spend on our car back in time. The good old Ambassador! It was a dark brown and a Mark 4 or something....if that means anything. My dad used to work interstate and my mom/sis and myself lived separately. It was my sister's and my responsibility to clean the car regularly, keep the battery charged once in a while and start the car and leave it idle/ON for sometime, as none of us three actually knew how to drive a car (even now!). So that was the most we had to do and then when dad used to visit us during breaks, he would take it for a drive with all of us in it. I remember changing the car tyre once in my life. That was quite an experience. But the most sweetest memory of the car I have is how my sister and me had to push the big ambi to start it EVERYTIME! You know it is no joke to push the Ambi and we two skinny (I was skinny then) sisters used to put our soul and strength to it (Dum lagakey......Zor lagakey.......) and have called the names of all Gods possible when we set out on this starting routine . Now we laugh at the incident. That was my physically challenged love affair with our old ambi.

 

Hi Radhika !
That was an entertaining post about your love for cars. And let me give you a High Five for talking of the car as a HE ! So tired of all these macho types calling automobiles a SHE.
Am not particularly attached to our cars. But, yes, I will say a big yes, to your thought :" Sometime i really wonder do this machines understand our feelings !!!!!!! i hope they will be "
I am quite convinced that cars do understand our feelings ! Once, when the husband was on overseas deputation for 2 years, I got myself a Matiz and was its sole driver. We developed a very animate relationship like that of a horse and a rider ! "He" would respond like a darling to my driving, but would get into a funk if the visiting husband tried to drive it. My husband had no great opinion about that engine and always felt i should have bought a Santro. I suspect that my Matiz Darling knew this and that was why he acted funny with him ! I had to sell "him" off after the production closed down and servicing became a problem. I have never found another automobile soul mate after my Dear Matiz .

 

Dear Radhika,
A wonderful write up !! So you have become sentimently attached to your car. I understand we human beings are
emotional beings. Allour actions are transformed from thoughts only with the help of emotions. To that extent there are emotions attached with everything - an old, well-worn shirt, School/classmates, pets, politics, hobbies, childhood sweethearts, convictions, lifelong ambitions... Everything involves emotions, and without which life will be just a dry desert of lifeless actions, not worth living for.I think my problem with sentimental clutter is that sometimes it takes a lot of time before I can step back and figure out that the object doesn’t bring up the joy and good memories I once thought it did. Or it might take years for me to figure out that symbol of achievement twenty years ago mean nothing to me now as new milestones take their places. Meanwhile these objects get stuffed in a bag or a box for safekeeping, breeding in the dark. Then it becomes an overwhelming ordeal when I do get around to disposing of them.
'Sometime i really wonder do this machines understand our feelings !!!!!!! i hope they will be "Your attachment to your car made you say this but what I feelispeople have problems enough understanding each others' emotions. If we have to deal with machines' too, it could all get very ugly.Sorry dear for my comment.
with love

OOPs Pads... I feel the same here:hiya
Dear Radhika,
great to know your attachment with your car... I too loved my first vehicle.. then slowly the craze wore out with the subsequent ones....
Its always great to take pride in taking care of all your possessions. That shows that you value them...
