Well, it was a bit one-sided since, of course, cars can\u2019t talk. Except there were a couple movies about talking cars, a show on TV called \u2018My Mother the Car\u2019 (TV has evolved, right?) and a national Public Radio\u2019s \u2018Car Talk.\u2019 Regardless, I \u2018chatted\u2019 with my Redfire-colored 2007 4-door Ford Fusion SE.<\/p>\n<p>The occasion was preceded by the driver\u2019s-side heated seat no longer heating. This has been a feature that I have long loved about this car. Burns my biscuits, doncha know. And just as the temps hit the low teens again, it looked like hot buns would be a thing of my traveling past. It was not a good sign.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I don\u2019t have a name for my 2007 Ford Fusion SE, other than \u20182007 Ford Fusion SE.\u2019 Men name their boats, planes, weapons. Even their favorite golf clubs. But not their cars.<\/p>\n<p>Car naming is predominantly a \u2018lady<\/p>\n<p>thing.\u2019 I will note a manly exception for Luke and Beau\u2019s \u2018General Lee\u2019 and David Hasselhof\u2019s \u2018KIT,\u2019 but those vehicles were worthy of naming rights. A few of my daughters have called their vehicles by name. Sally Saturn. Honey. Tori Taurus. We had a yellow VW that the girls appropriately labeled \u2018The Buggy Car\u2019 and a station wagon with the affectionate moniker of \u2018Grocery Getter.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>It could be because cars look like people<\/p>\n<p>that we treat them so personally. You know, it is no accident that automotive engineers design front-ends to look like faces. Grilles to resemble a mouth, the headlights, eyes. Facial recognition is one of the most ingrained traits in our brain<\/p>\n<p>And so I said to my 2007 Ford Fusion SE, on a freezing cold morning, \u2018Please not the seat. You\u2019ve already quit on your CD player. Your radio\u2019s getting iffy. I got you that new air conditioner last summer, remember. What is going on here?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>I could almost hear FF SE sigh. Or was<\/p>\n<p>that the radiator?<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I am 9 years old, my dear sir,\u2019 he seemed to whisper to me. \u2018Cars are a bit like dogs, with respect to aging. And see those miles? Over 125,000. Like it or not, old chap, we are wearing out.\u2019 I was not quite sure why \u201807 FF SE had a British accent, or why he saw fit to refer to \u2018we\u2019 when referring to \u2018wearing out,\u2019 but I suppose there was a point to be conceded. And a gender as well.<\/p>\n<p>He was wearing out. As I am. I could use a knee replacement; he just got new tires. I have to take some meds, shoot some apple cider vinegar daily. I try to drink an amount of water that increases exponentially my visits to the Little Boys Room. He requires his regular transfusions of 5 quarts of W30.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I get it, FF SE. Outside of a few major<\/p>\n<p>repairs, you\u2019ve been a good and faithful servant. And both our mileage is getting up there.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I have tried to do my best, sir. And by the by, we are past-due for that transmission flush.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Which I acknowledged. Hey, I did fix the lovely dent in the passenger door inflicted by the junior member of the clan (\u201cOMG, Dad! I didn\u2019t see your car in the driveway!\u201d). Which he duly acknowledged.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018All I\u2019m asking is for another year or so,\u2019 said I. \u2018I absolutely love the idea of no car payment, and I promise to keep up on those fluids.\u2019 I was bargaining with a 2-ton steel and plastic entity.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We shall see, sir. We shall see.\u2019 He seemed a bit weary.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t want to play the \u2018Replacement<\/p>\n<p>Card\u2019 as a threat. But I\u2019d been toying with the idea of something more, well, sporty. Kinda given up on the 5-speed Mustang convertible. The knees, remember? And hay fever doesn\u2019t lend itself to top-down cruising. But my next ride just might be more edgy.<\/p>\n<p>It was almost as if FF SE was reading my mind.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I know our time is limited,\u2019 said he,<\/p>\n<p>quietly. \u2018However, please recall that I went from #1 Family Car, to Tom\u2019s Car, to\u2026.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>We came to a red light, sat in silence, alone with our thoughts. We\u2019d had a good run, he and I. Been lots of places. Still had some miles to go before we slept. I decided to bury plans for replacement and, at the sight of green, gunned the engine onto the entrance ramp. We shot along I-64 as best as a 9 year-old Redfire 4-door Ford Fusion SE could muster.<\/p>\n<p>And I think he was smiling, if even just a little.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We Love Our Cars\u2026Are We Nuts?
