I just bought a new car..I had too. The old one was manual and only 1200cc which suited me as it was economical but with my crook legs I had to get an auto. I was very savage on the clutch. Birnt thru one and well into a second☺. Also the gear box was on the way out... The auto is great and has cruise control both of which makes life much better...such small matters but changed the trip North by being less stressful. And I can set cruise control and exercise my legs which is wonderful.
But cars to me are just transport and nothing else. I find it amusing so many treat their car like a toy or status symbol and think that the engine noise reflects their masculinity. My cars are not mistreated but are not always clean and that is not cause I am slack but cleaning it is such an effort I just cant do it as often as I would like.
Maybe having to use a car as a business tool took the toy thing out of it for me.
I was going to get a van to put a bed in and basic camping stuff so as to do some outback astronomy but they felt too big...even this new car feels huge. .it is four door the old one was two...
It already needs a clean after the trip up here and only about one klm of dirt road☺.
The dew and the dust on a white car sure is noticable☺
