Precisely What Does The Term Car Mean To You?

The word car invokes several recollections and many pictures in the minds of men and women, ranging from sheer joy to also, sadly, the less pleasant, but mostly those thoughts are pleasurable, particularly when that automobile is an Ego.

Car, to the three year old means 'vroom, vrooming', around the room in imitation of any motor vehicle on the streets or perhaps that, which belongs to daddy. For the following 15 years this same kid will be taught to differentiate between all of the producers and even understand the differences between the different types of a manufacturer. He'll be talking about the brand new this or that and be a great admirer of German and Italian performance car images, plastered all over his bed room walls. He will even only sulkily half accept the fact that he could only legally drive on the road when he is eighteen.

When he may receive a learners licence he is up early in the day to form the head of the queue for 'THE TEST'. No sooner has he a little paper in his hands and he nags mom and dad at every chance to go for a spin in the car, himself driving of course. He dreams of this motor vehicle, his first car, that Daddy promised him on getting his licence all the time eagerly looking forward to starting the second hand jalopy and going on his very own first drive. The morning arrives that he starts his own motor vehicle, and another car mad South African is on the road.

From now on one car or another will almost always be on the mind of this youngster as he matures. A car will mean one thing or another to him all through his life, simply because without a motor vehicle, you are basically stuck. In his varsity days the word car will take on a different meaning from time to time - at times (probably often) the word motor vehicle would be exchangeable with the word female. You know that old song about "a horse and carriage"? Well it has now become a "girl and car", because in his mind the one relies upon the other. As a result, his jalopy is voluntarily and excitedly cleaned out and vacuumed, particularly early on Saturdays in planning for the big date: the drive-in cinema! On college graduation the lad, now an industrial engineer, receives from the bank this banking package for young experts and right away it presents a major problem to him - what CAR should he buy? He buys car magazines, go for test drives, talks to his close friends, but ignores his father because he will merely say to buy the practical! So, in the end he most likely does the insensible and buys what his heart dictates, but what the heck, SHE likes it! It is red has an 'R' badge, produces a noise and moves like a bat from hell - what a pretty car. By the time his own boy is able to 'vroom, vrooming' around the room, the man has bought a practical car like the Ego, on HER insistence, because he now has responsibilities!

By the time this gentleman's boy is able to get his driver's licence in a automobile like the Ego, the family motor vehicle has turned into a very practical 4x4, because responsible parents take their families with them when they go practise their hobby of remote area sportfishing. And what has SHE to say on this? Well, she has just learned to accept her husband as another car crazy South African man.
