To give you an idea of the weirdness level of conversations in my household :), @Bob_Blaylock insists that his Jeep has a mind of its own and when he went _near_ a piece of rough road today, the Jeep supposedly refused to let him not travel that piece of road. This is not unusual. I’ve taken to calling it Christine, which he seems to not really appreciate. Any other suggestions for names for the vehicle with a mind of its own that makes its owner follow its wishes? 🙂
