JUST A CAR!

[Back N Black]

A friend sent this to me and i think it holds true to the majority of us.



JUST A CAR!
> From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a car,"
> or,"that's a lot of money for "just a car".
> They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the
> costs involved for "just a car." Some of my proudest moments have come
> about with "just a car."
> Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a car," but I did
> not once feel slighted. Some of my saddest moments have been brought
> about by "just a car", and in those days of darkness, the simple sound
> of "just a car" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
> If you, too, think it's "just a car", then you will probably
> understand phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a
> promise."
> "Just a car" brings into my life the very essence of friendship,
> trust, and pure unbridled joy.
> "Just a car" brings out the compassion and patience that make me a
> better person.
> Because of "just a car" I will rise early, labour long weekends, and
look
> longingly to gearhead magazines.
> So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a car" but an embodiment
> of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the
> past, and the pure joy of the moment.
> "Just a car" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts
> away.
> I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a car"
> but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a
man."
> So the next time you hear the phrase "just a car" just smile, because
> they "just" don't understand.

That made me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
The next time my wife tells me to sell my stupid green 74' Satellite I am going to read that to her. \
Man, that poem is really the truth.

Why can't I think up beautiful, moving, thoughtful sayings like that??

Anyway, the guy is RIGHT ON!

[dodgecharger-fan]

I need that on a banner for my garage wall.... and maybe on some small sheets of paper that I can staple to the foreheads of those that REALLY don't get it.

When I get behind the wheel of the Charger...I feel 18 again......and that was a long time ago.....

My relatives often say they are just cars. They dont understand mopar.

Thats Awesome,Thats why my "Honey" and I get along so well,when I take her out for a cruise as often as I can.The Wife just don't understand.

I had a guy get all up in arms on one of the Model Message boards because he thinks "brand loyalty to a corporation" is stupid and that you should shop around and read consumer reports  to make your car buying decision.  Several people tried to explain to this guy that they drive the cars or trucks they drive for a REASON. He just isn't a "car guy". I told the guy that the reason I have Chargers is that I LOVE CHARGERS!!! And the reason I have my Hemi Ram is because there were 5 Dodge trucks in my driveway before this one, because they have ALL been FANTASTIC vehicles. So when this one wears out, there will probably be a Ram truck of some description in its place.

I have a T-Shirt that has a Superbird on the back and under that it just says... "It's a Mopar thing, You wouldn't understand!"

Oh and what did this paragon of automotive intelligence drive? A crapbox early 90s toyota of some type  I just kind of felt sorry for him.

I understand loyalty but every company has produced awesome cars in their time. I to this day kick myself for letting some other cars besides mopars slip away but more mopars than others.  I am more mopar than any other but if the right car comes along it wouldn't matter to me.

[G-man]

well they are just cars. Cant liken that to "just a friend" etc because friends are people with feelings and moral values. Cars are just pieces of metal with wheels. 

I would be sad to lose my charger, but, it is just a car afterall. If i lost a friend however or family member, that would be a different story. If you had to get rid of your car for the good of the family, then u quickly realise it is "just a car" bottom line.
