Love - a car shopping affair.

Buying a car's no easy task, and that, as with love, is very much the same.

Everyone steps into a showroom looking for his individual Ferrari. Some might want a F430, others an Enzo. Choosing your dream car is as relative as Einstein's concept of space and time. To some, a 0-100km under 3.9s might be that one deciding factor; to others, it might just be the simple elegance of an oak finished console, topped off with luxurious seats made out of a young calf's skin.

Right from the start, you might have gone out searching for that Ferrari, but a sudden pop into the Lamborghini showroom might just prove to be an eye opener. You feel the car, you floor the throttle. Everything seems just so sweet. Soon, the iconic bull has engulfed the prancing horse. Whatever happened to that sweet sweet love for red?

And when you eventually find your true love of an automobile, you hesitate not. You fall head over heels in love with her four wheels, her chassis, her purr and her curves. What more can a man ask for? You sign the papers readily and without doubts. You take her home. You caress her ever so gently; caring for every scratch, bruise and dent she would ever sustain. You become one with her, never independent, forever reliant.

Then comes the puzzling thought of changing yourself a new ride. What happens to your Lady? Yes, newer and faster models will emerge. With better specifications; quad-turbos, super-duper chargers and TSG (Triple Shift Gears), who says you're not to be tempted? But know that temptation is not a sin, falling for it - that is.
As quoted from Blake's My Pretty Rose Tree;
But I said, 'I've a pretty rose tree,'
And I passed the sweet flower o'er.
You stand by your Lady for eternity. And just in case you're wondering, that's how vintage cars come about.

Buying a car is like falling in love, it's a feeling that one must first possess before pleasure and satisfaction can set in.
