The big brother in the used car market told me that cars have spirits. If your car has protected you for many years without any accidents, then when you're changing to a new car, prepare a small toy car and say to the old car:\n\n"Sorry to have you stay here for a few days. I’ve got you a better new shell." Then hold the small toy car and circle around the old car counterclockwise three times.\n\nWhen you get the new car, tell the toy: "This is your new home, go inside," and then walk clockwise around the toy car three times. The car’s spirit will move into the new car.\n\nI don’t know if what that big brother said is true, but this little ritual really comforted me.
