extensions of self / your car

Deciding on a car is probably the most fun thing you can do when you are a kid, but you grow up and you don't get to decide on one at all. You just get one handed to you. But somehow tis car becomes a part of your personality. You have a way of making it your own. You put fuzzy dice in the mirror, the kind of music that you play affects the atmosphere in your car, how clean your car says a lot about who you are. Our cars are extensions of ourselves. They help us live. They transport our bodies from place to place, before we would have to ried an animal, ride a bike, or just walk. The differences between these things and a car is that the car is a capsule. Its even different than riding a motorcycle, which is an extension of ones self, and does describe the kind of personality you are or desire, but it does not work the same as a car or any vehicle that has a cab. So we are looking at the car as a place that takes you places but at the same time it can take you away from places, literally and figuratively. The car can take you away from home literally, but I would say that even just the act of getting in the car and shutting the door takes you to a place that is isolated from the outside world, kind of like your own personal space that is made just for you and your brain to get together and talk. This can be the only place for solitude for some people. If you live with people or not, sometimes your car is more comfortable to be with yourself than your home.
