Do you now have a relationship with your car?

Just remember that every relationship has its ups and downs. You'll have days that you treat her with indifference, letting her go out in public looking dirty and she'll have days when she'll resist having her tank filled by you, but you two should have a nice long relationship as long as you both work at it.

Keep in mind that you're still in the honeymoon phase - it's no longer a new car the first time you break wind in her...

 

I guess mine stopped being and smelling new the night i left the dealership

 

Changed my life.

 

Yes - I pay the bills & buy the gas. She sits in the garage like a pampered princess. (In fairness, she will take me where I want to go & does her part to save $$ on gas.)

 

I did not have relations with that car.

 

At least we can all inhale now.

 

I think a lot of Prius owners would like to have this type of relationship with their cars:

 

That would be a 'tough' love for any cars...unless you never planned to drive outside.

But the relationship will change (or stress-relieved) after you got the first door dent, paint chip or windshield chip/crack....

Five years later, you'll be tempted to have a new one, since this one was turned out to be just a car....afterall.

 

Two weeks in, it's still cute how it chirps when it sees me and lets me right in. Maybe in a few years that same old chirp won't be cute any more, it'll be naggy.

I've already tried (just once) to walk right into my house without using the key. The house was having none of that.

 

I've always had relationships with my vehicles.
My DH now drives the Grand Lady, the Buick, which is our first truly sentient car.
Rudy is "waking up"... gaining his personality.

He has a few rock chips. But I still think he's cute!

 

I would not say I have a relationship with my car, but my Wife and 2 kids are extremely jealous. Go figure? They say I spend too much time playing with the Prius. To my defense, I only spend my spare time with the car.
