It's colloquial and it's slang. I'd like to add "coche" to my transaltion as Juan very accuratly pointed out. Thanks Juan!

Mario, this is slang, NOT universal transaltion! Auto, carro, coche (as Juan points out) best catch the drift of this translation. Vehiculo, though universally applicable, just doesn't get it!

vehiculo
Si el infierno del camino es para ti el hogar, entonces tu vehiculo es mas un artefacto que una manifestacion de tu personalidad.

: "vehículo" [yo si puse el tilde] is far too ambiguous. Tanks, armoured cars, freight trucks are all 'vehicles'..or not?

Richard C. Baca, MIM
: I disagree because this is slang, street slang for an automobile or car. "Vehicle" takes in too many modes of transportation; Frankly I think "car" or carro gets it.
