Message	or sentimental meanings for folks. Your Z may be just a car to you but it's not fair to dismiss all cars as simply a means of transport. America (and really many countries) have a love affair with cars that is rooted in its popular culture. A station wagon might be just a car but there are others which clearly are far more "inspiring" then my mom's 86 Taurus. Just a car? Hardly. It's the stuff of 12yo dreams.
