Default does your car talk to you?

funny thing pals, i regularly find out that my cars talk to me when i go into the garage, actually it's not a real 'talk', it's a kind of mental transmission, i can feel what they think, usually they ask me to take them for a ride, they say 'it's my turn' or 'it's more then a week i dont get out to light!' and so on,some times they get really nasty, usually though they get easily into dramatic moods.
i'm pretty sure cars, motorcicles, engines in general has 'life' or a projection of life created by ourselves with the car or the engine as the target, did you ever had this kind of feeling or maybe i've got alzheimer and never noticed before?

Mine always talks to me. It sticks the antenna up to my back and says "GIMME ALL YOUR MONEY" almost everytime I walk into the garage.

Mine idly purrs when its happy, roars when I start 'er up and growls like a lion when I hit 85 on the highway...
every turn I take the car speaks to me thru subtle vibrations and sounds... I just love driving it...

Extremely exciting car... never boring.. (huge vocabulary)

Mine talks to me. It makes me speed and play loud music. Last Christmas I was going to buy my wife some presents, the Vette made me buy parts instead. My wife didn't believe me and I got in big trouble.

I see dead Fords.

Mine does, but it's speaking Swedish. No clue as to what it's telling me.

So that's what those voices are that I keep hearing in the garage! I thought people were living in the attic!

I talk to my 68 quite often, but usually in a language the mods would certainly not allow me to post here

mine is kinda subtle...she just says "move closer, lay back, put one hand here and one hand here and turn me on" Once I get her hot then things really start happening!
