Yorkshire Evening Post has a fun article in which we are asked, "REMEMBER that Stephen King book Christine? It was about a possessed car that wanted to take over its owner's soul." This excited me since I am in the depths of that novel, watching Christine take control of Arnie's life.
.
The article is a personal story of a car from hell. Haven't we all owned one of those?
.
For me it was my first car, a 1978 Chrysler Lebaron. 1978 was Chryslers experiment year. Nothing was standard. That made getting it repaired painful. No parts were standard on that thing. And, I don't think it was a year of good ideas. To hit the brights, you had to find just the right spot on the floor -- between the gas and breaks. It leaked oil and didn't always like to start. There were tricks to getting it to start, even on a cold morning.
.
Over time, a car seems to get a life of its own. Even if you don't name your car, you might talk to it from time to tame. Worse, some cars just want to go fast! But have you ever owned an all out evil car? that's a real question!
