La Familia

Just like a pet, my car has become part of the family. And just like the family pet,  I try to feed her the best gasoline, keep her up to date on her check ups, look forward to her comfort when I've had a bad day, hope to one day be able to enter her into a car show, and when she hurts; I hurt. She is my pride and joy and my place of comfort when I need a little unconditional love. She is also a symbol of where I have been, and where I have yet to go.  

So, I guess all of this comes down to just what does your car mean to you?  Is it just another heap of scrap metal just waiting to be replaced by the next year's model?   Or, perhaps a status symbol?  For those of you whose car has a history and has become a part of your family, I'd like to hear your stories!
