I had never seen that before.

I am literally laughing out loud. Funny, funny stuff!

Whoa! That’s some bumper. Were cars really built like that or was that done for the movie?

"twas said that cars reflect their owners looks...or something like that. Now "cars have a personality"....

Please

That is about as factual as when, in the 50's, the rumour went out that the Edsel was designed to have a front end that "looked like the female genitalia" which would somehow cause men to buy them. Now decorum prohibits me from posting the latter so you can judge for yourself, but, come on, "Cars have a personality?"

I just don't know.

Although, I once had a 1957 that I SWEAR ran much better after I washed and waxed it. Really!!

In Judaism, the belief all things, even rocks, have souls:

http://www.askmoses.com/en/article/192,41627/Does-a-Stone-Have-a-Soul.html

(There is also the concept of “Gilgul” — a human soul trapped in a lower form.)

While not a Christian scholar, I understand the idea of even the simpleset of items have souls that would cry out on great injustice:

Luke 19:40 (recounting stone crying out)

All anyone had to do was look at the front end of an Edsel.

Ever hear the horn on a car like this? 3 and 4 cylindar cars are known for it...

That's because they don't want the horn to force an engine start.

True. I can tell mine apart in the dark by their different shapes and texture of their coats.

Mischievous smirk?
