However, has anyone ever, while sitting in traffic, looked in front of  
you and envisioned the car's face talking to you? I have......seeing  
the tail lights as eyes, the symbol or license as nose, the fender as  
a smile.....just like when I am in a restaurant and the disposable  
napkin and fork begin talking......

Maybe it is just an overactive imagination!
