You bring back memories of when I was a toddler, and my grandfather's furnace REALLY looked like an enormous octopus out of water, lurking in a corner, waiting for all adults to leave me alone down there. We really are hardwired to see an enemy anywhere, which is why all of our ancestors survived long enough to produce the offspring forming our family trees. "Make friends" with it, and it's easier to pay the feeding and sick-call bills. Being "pals" with your vehicle also makes it easy to be auto-health conscious, and pay the car-vet bills as well. Personiication has its benefits, properly manipulated.
