Devastated Arkansas man loses beloved Chevy Monte Carlo in routine check-up

An Arkansas man known as Nathaniel has been left devastated after his beloved car, a 1998 Chevy Monte Carlo named Chase, was written off. Nathaniel gained attention over a decade ago when he revealed his intimate relationship with Chase on an episode of the TLC show 'My Strange Addiction'. Despite admitting to having sex with his car, Nathaniel shared in an update last month that their love had run out of fuel.

Nathaniel has tried to move on with several new cars, but he admitted that none of them can replace Chase. He described his latest fling as more of a "friends with benefits" situation. Nathaniel expressed his deep sadness over the loss of his soulmate and revealed that he still thinks about Chase every day.

The accident that wrote off Chase occurred four years ago during a routine checkup. Nathaniel tearfully shared that he felt his beloved car deserved better. Nathaniel is one of the rare individuals who experience objectophilia or objectum-sexuality, a condition where people are attracted to physical objects rather than people.

To cope with the loss, Nathaniel has turned his bedroom into a shrine for Chase. He uses Chase's bumper as his bed's headboard and has nostalgic pictures of them together displayed throughout the room. Nathaniel explained that the bedroom is a special place for him and having Chase close brings him comfort.

While Nathaniel still thinks about Chase, he has moved on with several other cars. He introduced his new lovers, including Lex, a Lexus ES330, and Jet, a large black SUV with a "cute butt" according to Nathaniel. He also mentioned his affection for his jet ski Adam and his new luxurious sedan named Jordan. Nathaniel expressed love and intimacy for his new cars, emphasizing that none of them feel jealous of each other.
