But does your car suffer from ulcers? And you can mend a flat tire - can you fix Dobbin's broken leg? And when your car back fires, it makes a loud noise ... when Dobbin backfires, he kicks you in the head.
Dobbin is also capable of miscarrying a new Dobbin .... when a car dies, it's less emotionally draining, unless it's a classic car that's over 50 years old.
You got me there .... a Model T Ford is a bit hard to swallow ... but you can keep warm inside your car, or set fire to it. Also Dobbin doesn't produce a big black tire fire that can used to signal for help from far away.
