"Some voice inside, sly and insinuating--asking a question he was afraid to answer."

Delirious (1991) 

"Did he really want to know? He didn't. In fact, there were times when he didn't want the car at all. There were times when he felt he would be better off just... well, junking it. Not that he ever would, or could. It was just that, sometimes (in the sweaty, shaking aftermath of that dream last night, for instance), he felt that if he got rid of it, he would be... happier. 
The radio suddenly spat an almost feline burst of static. 
'Don't worry,' Arnie whispered. He ran his hand slowly over the dashboard, loving the feel of it. Yes, the car frightened him sometimes. And he supposed his father was right; it had changed his life to some degree. But he could no more junk it than he could commit suicide."
