Time for a new car

in #blog7 years ago

Almost everybody knows that I just simply hated my old car. It was tiny, bright red box, on the four wheels, which moved around like the slowest snail. Well not in my hands, but still... :) Sometimes, I was a little embarrassed driving it, but it wasn't always so bad. It was completely mine, and it took me where I wanted.

I don't give much to the flashiness of a car, but there is a difference in driving in comfort and driving in a leaning, noisy, jittering box.

I was looking to buy a new car for a while, but nothing seemed like a good deal. I finally got fed up with it and took a coworker up on his offer and bought his old car from him, hurray :) He recently bought himself a more exotic car and was eager to sell his excellent Citroen.

I didn't mind much about this car at first, I had others on my shortlist, but once I drove it, it completely won me over. For its value for money, hardly anything beats it. The guy is also a complete car maniac so it's in absolute top shape.

It's a spaceship compared to my previous Hyundai, the power, all the equipment and screens and everything automatic (not the gearbox), and the best thing is it floats over bumps, not crash into them :) It's much more luxurious than I expected.

I know it doesn't come close to a Lamborghini or a Ferrari, which I would also prefer, hehe. But in the real world of traffic, traffic lights, potholes, speed limits, fuel mpg and money, I think it's pretty good. I'm very happy with it. Now I'll just have to take better care of it than of the Hyundai :)

Have a nice day.

What about winter? Is it good in the snow?

According to the guy who sold it to me it goes very well in the snow, but that doesn't mean anything :) We'll see in half a year, I don't expect miracles, it's just a car with FWD. Too expensive for me to buy AWD, which I would also prefer, but I don't really need it 90% of the time.

It's the first day of summer. A lot of time.

Hey, but this one is not red, like a Ferrari! :)

Hehe, that's true. But color alone doesn't make it fast like a Ferrari :) Sometimes comfort is more important than standing out, especially in a bad way, haha

I think you got yourself a great replacement. Congrats! Sometimes we just have to step up our game. Stay safe on the road.

Thank you, it's not very flamboyant, but I still like it very much :) Indeed, sometimes we need to jump and see the horizons from a higher angle.
