This is your life (in cars)
As we go through life, one of the things that’s often always there for us is our car. Just like our clothing preferences and tastes in fashion change as we move throughout life, so too do our choices in vehicles, and nothing says more about a certain period in your life than the car you had at the time. Even though when you were 19 you may have hated your beaten up hand-me down ‘family wagon’ and didn’t actually have any kids to drive around in it, you may remember that camping road trip you took with your friends and using the extra space to hold all your gear.
Here’s a look at a hypothetical journey down the road of life in an assortment of vehicles.
Your first car:
Your first car possibly fell anywhere between the “piece of junk” and the “trendy piece of junk” categories. Whether it was a rusty 1977 Datsun or a beaten up old Volkswagon, it may have cost you nothing, or you may have paid much more than it was worth. But most people can always clearly remember their first cars, whether it ran perfectly til the time you sold it, or constantly gave you grief. It may have been with you on your first date, on your first day of University, or the day you finally moved out of home.
Moving through the rankings:
You see it all the time in the movies: Character gets big promotion. Cue montage of them spending it up in style. One of said montage scenes includes character buying themselves a flashy new sports car. While you may not necessarily splurge on a Ferrari the minute you move from sales to middle management, upgrading to a slightly better car can be a great way to enjoy the comfort and style you’ve worked hard for.
Room for two…or three, or four:
Your car needs also may change again if you start a family. Kids take up space, and many people look into getting a bigger, family-sized SUV in preparation for the bootfulls of nappies, soccer gear and doting grandparents which are bound to be plentiful in the years ahead. Volvo-driving soccer what?
Many people today begin their car journeys online, Googling around for things like used cars in Perth, WA. But of course, not everybody’s journey through life follows this progression through from rickety bomb to high-class sports car. Some people choose not to have a car at all, as they may not need it for transport. But knowing how many people own different kinds of cars throughout their lifetimes, it’ll make you feel a little less embarrassed about driving your dad’s old beaten up olive green VW beetle. Plus, today’s online car trading websites make it easier to avoid first-car-buying horror stories and overpriced sports cars.
Whether you’re looking for your first car, or are looking to spoil yourself for that new promotion, John Hughes has a huge selection of used and new cars in Perth, WA.
