Are you emotionally attached to your car?

I bought a new car today and traded in my old one. I've had it for about 6 years and my family outgrew it about 3 years ago. I've been fussing about it but when it was time to leave it....I actually wanted to cry. I felt like I was leaving my kid at some stranger's house "Your gonna live here now, ok?" It was weird.

Don't get me wrong. I like my new car but it feels like a snooty stranger. Like we need time to "get to know each other".

I would never have thought that I would be so attached to an object like that. Is that normal or am I cracking up?

 

i still miss a car that i got rid of 8 yrs ago. it was the perfect car for me. i dont think i ever shed any tears over it though.

 

i miss my old car so much...even though my new one is technicly better
it was my first car...it had memories...it was dirty small and dark...but thats the way i liked it.

 

I love my car, it's perfect for me and everyone else hates it.......

 

not at all, I was forced to get a new one in January and ever since then I've been thinking "damn, another scratch, thats going to lower its resale value"

 

i wanna put a brick on the gas pedal and let mine fly off a cliff

 

I ditched mine four years ago and now ride a Bike!
Get over it! It's just a Fuckin Car!

 

When I was about 5, my dad bought a new car and I started crying when I had to say goodbye to the old one. The poor car must have felt so unloved, being replaced like that. It was also pretty sad when my dad got rid of the car I used when I was learning to drive. Then one time, we were roadtripping in Europe and my friend's car died. It was such a nice car, it had a great personality and it looked so pretty with all these funky patterns we had painted on it. It was like saying goodbye to an old friend when we left it.

 

No, I have never been emotionally attached to any vehicle. Out with the old, in with the new.

 

Hell no!!!

 

My last car l had for 13yrs and actually miss the old beast.. l got a Benz a year ago and have become very attached to it..

 

I ditched my truck a few weeks ago, literally. (see gallery). I hated that car anyway. I always beat the shit out of my cars, driving through trails that most 4x4s wouldn't try. I figure, I got some mechanic friends, and worse case scenario, I got a welder. My cars usually only last me about a year. I actually financed my last one so that I could have a dependable family car, and we saw how well that went, I even tried driving nicely and tried to take care of it!

 

I'm somewhat attached to my car. We've been through a lot together, and it always takes care of me. It will be a sad day when it goes.

 

It's fairly normal.... I hope. If not most of us here have some major problems..... The only cars I had that I really miss any more are my old '78 Caddillac Sedan De'ville and my 1995 Eagle Talon.

 

i have a love hate relationship with mine... she plays me up sometimes and i get so cross with her...god knows what people think when i'm telling her off..... but i'm getting a new one in a couple of weeks and i know i'll be sad to see her go.

oh and i call her... lou lou :H

 

I don't currently have a car... So no..

 

I couldn't care less about my car... it's ugly, too big, and old..
