You would know what cars can do for you? They create a feel that life would be better with them. You start thinking about the lovely days and the nights you would have if you had a car. You think it will make your life go well once you make it yours. You will be able to go out and come as you wish and you need not leave home early to catch the bus at the bus stop. Perhaps you need not spend anything if you had it once.
Finally you decide to buy a new car, why to spend on buying cheap cars? You were not willing to take risk as it may give you trouble sometime in your journey. So you work out and manage to get money with your savings account, but you thought the car deserves it.
You had a wish to buy a consistent car that would not bring you to a halt leaving you halfway, and so you did it !
As usual, the whole thing was great at first. It drove great! Its engine came on when you tried to start it. It drove the way you used the steering wheel. You looked out the gauge of the tire, and even learnt how to check the fluids. You did the oil tune up every three thousand miles to keep it in fine condition.
You never kept your car dirty-inside and outside. You never let it run out of gas either. You always kept it smelling good with air fresheners, and everyone who entered your car could not stop giving away compliments to you.
Why then suddenly it started messing up? When you try putting the car in D it started reversing. And you find�the tire flat,�which you checked by morning was fine. Then what happened in the mean time?
You had no clue what would be the reason for it. It seemed to have happened out of nowhere. It completely refused to start. You took it to the overhauling shop with a heavy dent in you�re bank account. After spending all that you had, the car seemed to be in a good condition.
Your friends yelled at you that you don�t have to spend this much for a car. But you never listened to them when it concerns your car. Of course, they don�t understand the kind of bonding that you share with the car. You declined their views and said that your car is a good car.
You slowly made your mind to trust it again, but once more you are disappointed.
You take it again to the overhauling shop and dish out some more money there. You cried all way and thought, is it worth having this car? You had no idea why it was jerking on the road. Perhaps, it would be better to go and wait for the bus and pay few dollars to get your daily work done. But how could you go from grace to grass?
All your friends and relatives know that you have a car� Noooo. But you still remained patient. Things will get better.
You think that the reason would be putting a regular gas. So from now you will start putting the premium gas. You don�t take it to highways as it may be expensive to get it towed from there.� You check out everything, from oil to tires. You make it a point to check it once a while. Slowly it gains your confidence and trust. What do you see? Great going.. no jerks, its going well like a new car. But then what it does to you?
It starts smoking in the highway. Refuses to move. It leaves you at a point where you need to attend an important meeting of your life or to go back with the car to the mechanic again. You are struck between a rock and a very hard piece. You have no idea on what�s wrong with it. Damn. . You have given this man your life, and now it seems you have done it all for nothing. You have spent so much of your time and emotions into him and you lost the hope that you would yield any profit from it.
You have invested so much of your time and emotions into him and you do not feel like you are yielding any profit. You have two options: you could either give up on him and start all over with someone new, or you could continue with him and bear the consequences.
He knows your likes and dislikes. He knows your strengths and weaknesses. You told him the things you can never share with your best friends also.
Men are like cars. Some times, just enter your car and drive off. You think about the days when you suffered without it. But be thankful to God for giving you the car.
On other days, however, when you are�left on the highway and paying your future paycheck to the overhauler, you would wonder of the point for having a car. Even though you cannot deny the fact that it gave you nice opportunities to explore things about it. But spending money on it from the second job is nothing great or different from the current situation you are in, than before you had without a car.
