Surely you’ll be disappointed. You’re probably thinking that I want a Porsche or something exotic. Nope. The kind of car for me is neither classic nor modern. First, my criteria and how I got to it. I like a car that’s not new, meaning no recent offerings at a dealership. So a used car will do for me. Next, I want a car that’s reliable but still has some good miles to it. Cars today and in the recent past can go upwards of 200,000 miles and can still be driven hard. So anything with 90K on it, will do. It doesn’t have to be new looking either. I don’t mind a few dings here and there. Though I would like a clean car. Now, let me explain how I got to realize the car for me. I’ve been borrowing my father-in-law’s 2000 Toyota Camry. It’s got about 92K miles on it. It drives like a dream. Get this, I used to scoff at Camrys because they’re just so plain vanilla. Now who’s got the last laugh? Not me of course. It’s got this utilitarian dashboard that is so cool. It’s not quite classic as in a 68 VW bug but almost. So I drive this borrowed car to and from errands around town. It’s got one of the smoothest ride I’ve driven. The way I drive it is even funnier. You’d laugh. I drive it like my father-in-law. He’s in his 70’s. When he got this brand new, paid cash right off the dealer lot. He drove it slow and steady. Like he took care of it. Easy on the pedal, slow on turns, stops at bumps, he’s ever so delicate with his driving. That’s how I drive now. I can’t even tell you how I was before. Word from the wise, there’s more to life than driving fast. So I enjoy driving this car a lot. And I’m thinking of getting one like it. Works for me. I’ll have no monthly payments and I’d even saved on gas. Though it’s not as good on mileage as a hybrid car, I would still not have spent as much money buying a newer hybrid because a Camry goes for half the price of most Prius(es). I suppose that’s the satisfaction I get. The fact that I didn’t open up my wallet and let go of my savings, but still be able to get around. I’ve had to overcome quite a lot of stigmas for used cars such as the fact it’s older and maybe not so reliable. Or it’s not the latest and greatest. Or it’s not impressive, or it doesn’t have a new car smell, or enter your reasons here: __________. For whatever the reason, none of it makes a difference, now that I’ve found the car for me.
