When I got my first car (basketcase S13), it had a small Buddha statue on the dash. I would rub its belly daily for good luck and hope that day wouldn't be the day the S13 decides to overheat to death on me. At some point, I took the Buddha off so as not to offend my very Catholic grandparents, and the S13's health went downhill from there. I think I still have it somewhere- if it find it, it's going in my FC!

funny... since I painted my saab white.. all I need do is pull up behind somebody on the highway and they move over. Do they really think a saab is a cop car?

As for Buddha or jesus.. I do have a stuffed critter in all my cars as a mascot

No mascots, no supernatural icons...but I do talk to them and rub their dashboards. And pat them on the butt from time to time.

But that's not superstition..just affection.

And which SAAB is that? I could use a trick like that with Atlanta traffic (please tell me it's something like a 900SPG or a big honkin' 9000 )

I just saw Cool Hand Luke for the first time about two weeks ago, and had to learn the song for guitar. I wish I had a banjo.

I think the sticker on the back of my car gets me some unwanted attention these days....

"No, that's not my blow off valve, it's your girlfriend exhaling!"

But the car is a lot quieter now, so that's a good tradeoff. I haven't been pulled over in 6 months, knock on wood.
