Question

Help answer this question below.

If you were trying to describe a human being as a car (so you could refer to them in a conversation) what would go where in the metaphor?

A phrase such as dang you've got a fast car what's under the hood? might be used as the same situation as to trying to figure out how someone thinks or however you might see a person that is like a "fast car"
