Poor analogy, I might question it on the grounds of whether or not we actually have a driver (we're not cars after all) - but even If I didn't, whether or not a car moves without a driver is irrelevant, no ones questioning that, the contention is who or what the driver may be. You've failed to establish that this driver is the soul, or that they even exist to drive in the first place. You've failed to propose how this is accomplished, you've asserted that this cannot be accomplished (adjectives) without a soul...but you've failed to explain why (or why numbers are the only adjectives you seem to feel might qualify - what with colors being out, for example). Grammar would be a great exhibit if you intended to establish the existence of language and communication, or of sapience (why a soul is required for any of this when you're comfortable with our brains is a mystery)....how it helps to establish the existence of a soul is something you have consistently failed to explain. Perhaps this is because you don't know how it establishes this?
Is this something that convinces you? If this were shown to be baseless, would your belief in souls be shaken? If not (and I'm guessing not) is it possible that none of this establishes what you hope it would - even to you - that it is more accurately something you settled upon without adequate exploration to buttress a belief you already had - and would continue to hold regardless?

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
