I had no idea Car-penter directed this movie.

You can't be a serial killer without a car.

Christine is kind of his girlfriend doncha think? Urging him to kill for her. He brings her back from the dead in effect by renovating her. In this respect the car is like Frank from Hellraiser. I could mention that the name Christine contains the name Christ, who also came back from the dead. Probably subconscious on the part of King.

a haunted object is kind of alive, like the boxes in Hellraiser, as you mentioned.

don't our souls haunt our bodies?

Not sure about this ownership angle. I guess objects you own become friends. If you lose a dvd and buy another to replace it...it isn't quite the same.

>>we can conceive of 'everyday objects' that feel 'condemning.'

Not sure about this. Cars do damage the environment and you only have to google the words 'road rage' to see how cars effect people.
