Ah... Now we're getting into my area. I own both a "Christine" and a DeLorean, so I have some knowledge of the subject. (I'm not kidding). Mechanical objects do not have a soul; we place a personification of one upon them. Any soul you see in the car is a reflection of your own thoughts and feelings about it. Thus, the better you make both yourself and your car, the better it's 'soul' becomes. I've written about this before: http://www.projectvixen.com/zen.htm Legally, however, the definition is a different story. It's generally either the 'cab' or the frame which legally is the vehicle, and this varies from state to state. The majority of states proclaim the cab, with it's attached VIN, as the legal entity of 'vehicle'. -Dave VIN #05927 http://www.projectvixen.com DMC & Christine Pics: http://www.projectvixen.com/week134.htm and http://www.projectvixen.com/week138.htm
