Read on TwitterDid you know you can do some little tricks to prevent fatal tragedies on the road?
Join me in this THREAD, for I will share some not-well-known facts about vehicles.
This information may save your life!
Vehicles: we LOVE them.
Cars, sports cars, trucks... even boats and planes included
They make our life easier.
They make us more efficient!
They are truly wonderful machines.
Unless you are an Amish...
But I& #39;m sure that if you are reading this, you are 99.9% not an Amish.

The fact is, most of us dream about having our perfect dream of a car.
What& #39;s your Dream Vehicle?
Mine is a Monster Truck.

Ah! I digressed a little just to show you that we can get kind of crazy about vehicles.
Some people even take this to a higher level of madness, and not realize what they are doing.
Or the dangers of doing what they doâŠ

Iâm talking about common behavior for car-lovers.
People could end up loving their car so much that it becomes an extension of themselves.
Thus, some people may end up developing a sick attachment to their cars...

Folks that pay a great amount of money to put their names on the plate...
They feel sad when they have to sell their old pal.
Some even call them with a pet name -âmy babyâ- or even real names like âKarenâ when they complain too much.

Others greet them, say âgoodnightâ, kiss them⊠Sexualizing the machine as much as possible.
Especially some men that tend to compensate for their lack of virility by owning an expensive or powerful car.
A car with features theyâll never get to use to its fullest.

Now, this is part of the problem.
Because when we give attributes of a human, to a non-human thing⊠it becomes a pseudo-human.
And if we offer them gifts, like a special care treatment, a new and expensive accessory...
They grow up to be especially cocky.

So they start to demand your attention!
Sometimes the blasted things even need some baby-talking or menacing to start working!!!
âYour Babyâ will start to throw tantrums, and your âKarenâ will get you broke with her frequent visits to the car shop, asking for the manager.

Wait, this gets even worse!
Worse enough to be featured in a horror movie.
What Iâm about to say is what should actually scare you:

Your beloved car, wanting to become a human, will start to ask for blood.
Real blood.
Your blood, or even worse: the blood of your loved ones!

Iâm not the only one saying this.
To be accurate, this belief is quite ancient.
To be accurate, this belief is quite ancient.
It started with the first kind of âvehicleâ that mankind ever built: Ships.
Ships are worshiped as the ladies of sailors, who love and trust them with their lives during voyages.
Sort of how we trust our cars every day and wish they never malfunction while we drive.

In Ceremonial Ship Launching, many rituals are recorded throughout history:

I suppose you can see a symbolic pattern here.
Per tradition, the âchristeningâ ritual has been done with several fluids, from water, blood, red wine, juice (under Prohibition in the USA), to the now popular champagne.
And people still âchristenâ their boats.

Why people still stick to that ancient ritual of christening their boats, cruiser ships, yachts?
Is this more than a superstition amongst sailors?

It is believed that when a ship skips this ritual⊠or when the champagne bottle never breaks: the ship is doomed.
The tales include the Titanic (never christened) and the Costa Concordia (champagne bottle failed to smash against its hull).

Who knows is this true?
The hypothesis is this:
Maybe vehicles need to be appeased somehow before they turn psycho on you.

More interesting, can a car turn evil and bloodthirsty?
Perhaps they can.
I will mention two examples of cars that are considered cursed:

1. In 1914, while riding his green GrÀft & Stift Double Phaeton, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated.
This was one of the events that triggered World War I.
It doesnât have anything to do with a car, right?

Well, after this event, the car passed through many owners who got into several accidents, killing about 13 people in total.
You can see the car, along with its evil aura, in the Museum of Military History of Vienna.

2. James Deanâs Silver Porsche Spyder (nickname âLittle Bastardâ):
The actor died after a crash in this car in 1955.

After the car tasted blood... it claimed for more:
First, it broke a mechanicâs leg.
The motor was sold to a doctor that died in the first outing.
The carâs body was transported to Salinas in a truck that crashed, killing the driver.

After that, some pieces of the car were transported somewhere and fell over the road, causing an accidentâŠ
The rest of the pieces continued its trip inside the truck, which later crashed into a storeâŠ
What happened to the car later is a mystery.

So, after all this...
Can you afford to put aside what you& #39;ve always been told is real?
Maybe some stories are true⊠or maybe notâŠ
Even if the probability of all of this madness is 0.0001%...
Will you risk it?

Is there some kind of lesson we can learn from all of this?
Yes, we can!
There are some preventive measures that would cost you a penny and will make you prevent your vehicle to turn evil on you:

There are some preventive measures that would cost you a penny and will make you prevent your vehicle to turn evil on you:
Donât talk to it.
Donât give it names.
DON& #39;T GIVE IT POWER.
Itâs only a machine, treat it like one!
If you have to, study its background: if it had any accidents and even if the owner seems extremely sad to sell it to you.
No, I& #39;m not talking about this kind of "Christening"!:
"Christen" it with champagne or red wine.
Never use blood or any kind of liquid that comes from inside a human or an animal.
Itâs symbolic and you donât need to say anything special.
Just pour a little champagne over the hood and drink the rest of the bottle as usual.
