What is your Favourite All Time Automobile?
Nowadays a Car that functions and is not too costly to run is what most people aspire to and why not?
They have become a necessary accessory to modern day life with suburbs and retail parks and leisure time to spend them in. Not to mention the dreaded school run if darlings Johnny and Jacinta didn’t get into their first choice of school and the New House Purchase fell through before the start of the new term. The journey to school is now a twenty minute car ride and not a twenty minute walk. Let’s face it the promise of Public Transport, is just that , a promise.
Thus some worship the Car, but most see it as something, dare I say it, is a necessary evil.
Some see the Car as the Devil Incarnate, and impose sitting in queues on it’s hapless inhabitants.
So My Favourite Automobile is quite a touchy subject for some.
However ,my Cars have always had names, sometimes just based on their brand name. So we have had Mini, Panda, Lil’ Audi , Van and currently Fred. They were always favourites as they always worked and always got me out of trouble. I always talked to them and in truth they had manuals written by humans who had rules and regulations in mind that meant explaining how to do something was an encyclopaedic experience. I much preferred just fiddling and I’m pleased to say that all my Cars were most helpful and never complained.
Thankfully the gear stick pattern has always been the same although light switches were always a bit of a challenge.
They were all my Favourites as they were part and parcel of my life. I won’t mention my experience with Company Cars as it was a shame , they never felt like mine and in truth I couldn’t connect with them and just like a hire car I suppose they were just there to be used.
In my later years , I probably won’t be able to afford a car, but I will look back with fondness to all my cars.
Namaste . Thank you for taking the time to read.
