For me it evokes a hunk of over priced metal. Quoting the brothers from Car Talk, "It's a car, get over it." The older I get, the more I think it's true about being owned by one's possessions. Then you die and somebody comes along and throws it all away. The only way I can see accumulating junk is if one treats it like a friend. Actually enjoys looking at it, touching it, being near it, holding it loving to one's cheek, talking to it. Short of that, get rid of it, I say.
