Default Maybe cars do have feelings

I have often wondered if a car has feeling :, you know whether or not they know you are thrashing them, going to replace them etc. Well let me set the scene for why it may be true.

My mothers EL which she had for 10years, traveled 400,000km and never had a major problem bar a transmission, finally had a major issue (cylinder head cracked). Instead of fixing the Head mum went and bought a Lightning Silver FG XR6. So today is the day to go pick it up. On her way to the train station (car is in mandurah, was cheaper to get a train), her EL decided for the first time in 10yrs it was going to break down. Maybe it knew it was being replaced and was ****ed off : , at least it was nice enough to break down at a bus stop so her and my sister could still get to the train station . I told her on the way home to stop by and use the XR6 to tow the EL lol.

No matter how hard we try to believe they might have feelings, cars are just plain and simply an inanimate object made for transport
