An informal and affectionate term for a car owner that identifies as male and believes that his cars are his children. While all car owners may never think of their cars as their children, "car dads" are an entirely different breed. They're typically older, single, males that were never able to find someone willing to bear their children. Their female identifying counterpart is the "dog mom" ,
I'm a car dad. My cars are my children. My Mercedes is my daughter Christine, and my BMW is my daughter Emily.
