          Meaning ... it might be a FORD [Fix Or Repair Daily} so call your dealership for a tow!


          The 'car' is personified as someone or thing that could 'die' as humans do .... we know that cars in fact, malfunction which implies that they can be fixed however as given in the above sentence the car has been personified and has in fact .... died on the side of the road.

            Really you need a different car!  But, I would tow her home and have a decent send-off!
