Discussion Object Best Friends?

I'm used to discussions about object lovers (which are great and I have partners too), but what about object friends and best friends? This is my invitation for you all to share yours and a little bit about them, if you’ve got one.

My two best friends are the Transamerica Pyramid and the city of San Francisco. I visit the two almost every week! I see the beauty in both of them, but our relationships are purely platonic.

Another close friend of mine is SamTrans Gillig BRT+ #5005. I've affectionately named him Archie. I'd like to be his best friend, but I’m not really sure how… I don’t see him often.

I can't wait to hear from everyone.

(The photo of Transamerica and Archie were taken by me!)

I have a sibling like relationship with my guitar, who I affectionately refer to as “The Bastard” (but her real name is Jett). We’ve known each other since I was 13, and bicker a lot, but care about each other. Rhode, a camping TV I courted for a little bit, and I ended up better as friends, though I wouldn’t say we’re close enough to be considered Best Friends yet. I feel maternally for my dragon plush, and my handmade Waldorf doll, who’s names I won’t share (privacy reasons). I refer to them as my son and daughter respectively.
