this weekend i went shopping for a new car. an suv, actually. and before you all cast judgement, here are my reasons for getting as suv:
-i no longer live in the city and currently have a 1.5 mile commute to work
-i am driving through rugged terrain and need the higher ground clearance
-when i do commute, i take highways and would prefer to be in a bigger car if (god-forbid) i have an accident
i have a few other things on my list, like getting an american car since there appears to be no one within a 60 mile radius who knows how to fix a vw. i also want a more 'adult' car, one i can drive colleagues in without being embarrassed.
as i am looking what is out there i realize that i am really drawn towards the gadgets. the only gadgety feature my current car has is that you can close the sunroof when the car is off. but i want more. i want to be able to turn down my music without the strain of moving my arm to the center console. i want a cupholder that holds a venti latte. i want a rearview mirror that dims when jerky drivers behind me have their highbeams on. and yeah, i want leather because i'm tired of trying to get dog fur out of the back seat. is this too much to ask?
this morning it occurred to me that i had the same fascination with those cool pencil boxes from the hello kitty store and i realized that maybe we never really grow up. i mean there are the regular pencil boxes, that may have a couple of compartments and a snapping lid, but i loved (and never got, by the way) the ones that had buttons that popped open a pencil sharpener, an eraser-holder, a propped-up pencil sheath, and still had compartments and a snapping lid. yeah, those were cool. and i want a car that does the same. only this time it's grocery bag-holders in the back, or a dome light that pops out like a flashlight. yeah, that's cool. |
