A.A.  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.
