In this week's episode of the Stephen Kingcast, I examine King's first time behind the wheel of an evil car. In later years, he'll revisit the atrocities of what cars can do with entries such as From a Buick 8, Mr. Mercedes.  And in 1999, King experienced first hand the dangers of what cars can do to a person as he meets the real life version of the evil car. 

But is Christine more than just a book about an evil car? Could it actually be a profound examination on the death of childhood friendships, growing up and a parent's fear of letting go? It couldn't possibly be his first great love story, could it?
