Yet another one about the Car.
For a person who hardly rode in a car [well…excluding the cabs from office], having a pre-owned car was a great thing. Though it was just a machine, I had an attachment towards the car with which I learnt to drive and overcame my travel sickness. And it was hard for me to let go.
Well, after that car was totaled, there was a discussion about the next car. I have no idea about these stuffs; all I cared about is CD player & adjustable seat which were missing in our first car. As usual Raaz did the research and I monitored it ;). Then we decided to buy a hybrid one as Raaz has to travel almost 75 miles every day. Once the model & make was decided, we had to decide upon the color. We wished the model could have a burgundy color, but it didn’t. So we had to settle for red [no not the Ferrari red].
Then started the deal hunt! The first day, we had a very bad customer interaction experience and we were angry & irritated. So we decided to stop the search for the day. Next day our spirits rose as we got so many calls from the dealers’ shop about the rates etc. So then we again set our feet out in search of car. Sunday we were very sure of what we wanted, how to ask & how to deal. So when we went to this particular dealer shop, we gave our quotes and said we wont didn’t want to bargain on our quote, which would be our final decision. So once the price was kind of settled, he brought the car. It was the red one and we loved it immediately. It didn’t take too much of time for us to get the keys.
Unfortunately I couldn’t ride on it for the first time; But Raaz took me for a ride later that day. I was too proud and admiring each and every inch of the car. Enjoying the new car smell, we couldn’t even think about opening the window [so that the new car fragrance will last for a whileJ]. I haven’t driven it much but I found myself getting excited every time I ride in our car. May be that is not unusual to look around other cars to compare ours in every parking lot but the first time in my life I got the feeling of “Owner’s Pride”. Every thing seemed to be so new for me. Speaking of excitement, the most interesting part is that finally I was able to listen to CD collections.
Almost every Sunday we go for an escaping ride through the most time deserted streets, listening to melodies or just chit chatting with Raaz, enjoying the breeze, silent humming of our car… Sometimes I get a chance to drive alone...with moon over to watch me driving, Raja's music at a near silent volume to accompany me...But yeah, this excitement won't last for ever, but I wouldn’t want to miss it. I sure understand that nothing will be new for a long time but still life goes on…with new days & new things until the day my life ceases to exist!!!
