Do You Still Love Your Car?
I remember my great love with the car when I was growing up. The family car was a Ford 1941st It was not sold very often during the war and looked to be new if it was in Plymouth for ten years later be traded. My father is not very interested vehicles.
What inspired me were the last chrome-laden machines from Detroit. In the past I delivered at the car dealers on foot in the neighborhood where I lived to see the cars, or to press my face against the showroomWindow, because children are not allowed unless accompanied by an adult inside. I flipped through all the car magazine rack at the drugstore and see about driving down the avenue in a big-finned cars and catching my reflection in shop windows, I saw how cool dream.
In November 1954 I turned 16 and passed my diving test a few days later learned to drive on country roads before the big day. My first car was far from what I dreamed of driving. A '36 Ford came firstfollowed by a '37 Ford. They were not big and beautiful as the Detroit iron of my dreams, but as we used to say: "I had wheels."
When I started making money on my own, which I in a position that was to buy a new car. I started with a Thunderbird, and soon moved to – Cadillac, a number of them. It was the car I wanted, as long as I can remember driving. And every time I was lucky enough to get a new one, I must admit, the reflection in the windows wasto see exciting. That lasted for years.
Back at the beginning of my career as a racing driver gas was cheap. Even after the fuel shortages of the 70s, were the cost of filling up the tank no big deal. But have since the beginning of this century, gas prices rose and went through the roof last year. I do not even know an American car built, but I do not particularly economical driving. And my love for my car is a thing of the past.
This change in theAttitude is not only because I am older and hopefully more mature. Some of it is that all cars, with few exceptions, look like other car brands. Small cars are just mini versions of larger ones. Whether they made in the USA, Japan or Europe, it is difficult to say which one the. Moreover, most of what I see on the street silver / gray, white or black. Cars are just not sexy more.
Now we move quickly into the "green time." In my opinion, is not only more carsFuel consumption, they will look at. My rationale is simple: There is no sense in driving a vehicle that is high fuel consumption, if other people do not know, you sacrifice one to save the planet. Of course we can not say much about what we controlled the government since the automotive industry to drive. If this is the case, I can not expect me to admire in the windows of the passage of a new era of these cars.
