I've seen the movie, read the book, now im watching it again. Just realized something, why didnt christine just fix herself BEFORE arnie even saw the damage??? I know there would be no point for the story to go on after this, it just seemed funny to me. Love both versions by the way.

To show what his "friends" had done to her
Agreed, cause if she fixed herself, he would have never known.
so that he'd hate them as well?
Disagree....they bullied him, probably for sure bet he already hated them lol

She didn't know they bullied him but.
I always wondered why Christine didn't fix herself before Arnie first saw it

Christine does not always need Arnie too be present in order too heal, she heals herself after she kills Moochie, which if I remember right is before she ever demonstrates the healing factor. Christine is an emotional vampire and evil though and probably wanted sympathy from Arnie although I do think that even Christine would have had trouble wiping the crap off her dashboard.

The restoration or the Show Me scene as it's called by most is the one just before Christine's chase and killing of Moochie.

For the movie, that is a good question, and the answers tied to emotional responses from Arnie are what I would probably side with. However, in the book, if I remember correctly, Arnie actually had to drive the car backwards (rewinding time or something) for the repairs to work.
Cheers mate!
Furthermore, why didn't she fix herself before he ever saw her? I mean when she was in Lebay's yard.

The film is a bit different from the book but in the book she must move in order too repair, this why she is finally overwhelmed in the book when she became too damaged too keep moving and thus repair herself.
In the book she was like a very manipulative woman she wanted Arnie too feel sorry for her. Although it might have been funny if she did repair before he got there and Arnie just found a random crap on his dashboard lol

Christine needed Arnie's faith and utter devotion to her to enable her to reconstruct herself. She had effectively "died" when the previous owner killed himself in her, hence her becoming decrepit but was renewed when Arnie came along and came under her power.
"You met me at a very strange time in my life"
Which made me realize something Arnie died before they made Christine into a cube so how was she able to regenerate herself?

Good call SpaceMountainMike, I never thought about that.
"You met me at a very strange time in my life"
Arnie's spirit had joined with the car. I mean, we're talking about a car possessed by an evil spirit anyways, right? Not exactly a leap from the story's logic...
Sig: "U" "PPL" "WAT" etc. are not words. Grow up. "then" is a reference to time not a comparison.
Which made me realize something so how was she able to regenerate herself?
she needed someone (the right one) to come along and love her. lebay had locked her up after he was not able to drive anymore but in the book it says she waited for the right person to come along.

Y'all do realize you're trying to explain a Stephen King story, right? His tales always contain some kind of supernatural element that cannot be explained by logic or common sense. That's what makes his stories so good, is the mystery factor.
With that said, I did wonder how Christine was able to keep on going after Arnie died, as they did seem to have a synergistic relationship and fed off eachother's energy. But Stephen King's stories don't typically give all the answers, and I'm okay with that.

Christine is an evil machine; I guess it's a metaphor for a bad woman (I love me my ladies, but like guys, they aren't all doing favors).
