Discourse on the Philosophy of Car Shopping
#5
dont really agree with the "become the car" thing.I have seen junkyard claw handlers who became the junkyard claw.
It s a pretty mysterious sight for an outsider tripping on acid..
but the dude himself with his one steel fingered claw crushing metal all day long
his job does not translate to smooth loving.

even outside the junkyard and in the normal world of normal people
the ones who are trying to become their car are financial slaves to the ICE.
slaves to new wheels and paintjobs and little neon badges on everything.
identity fused with a car.. OUCH..

I used to be a tradeplate driver/
I would pick up several 10,000m  cars in a day and drive them around from a to be
delivering them to dealerships.
i quite enjoyed driving them without a sense of ownership.

vehicles i have owned from 5.6 litre v8  6 gear (stick shift) DODGE dieseltruck
or 1948 mercedes engine (HANOMAG) military radio truck
or even a 600cc citreon 2cv. (probably about 4 horses in that)

i dont enjoy the sentimentality..
particularly as the man with the steel claw has claimed them
