I have a theory for you. You know that dogs and their owners seem to look like each other and may even have the same personalities after awhile. Perhaps the same can be said for cars. If that car in your story was an older car, it may have taken on its owner’s personality of yelling at kids to get off his lawn and property. I realize that a car is an inanimate object, but some people make the claim that all animate and inanimate objects have an aura and spirituality to them. You are not a kid and the car ignored you. So, who knows? Life is full of mysteries, right? : ) : )
