    Cars are not an inanimate object. They can move :pac: and kill you if they want.

    While driving around australia i had a small camper van that i called Bettsy.

    We did 16000km together.

    Then i crashed her, 5km from our final destination.

    Heartbroken.

    I actually said "bettsy, noooo"
