You cannot do anything, get anywhere, meet anyone, if you do not have a car here in LA. Renting is enjoyable for a while, nevertheless you pay the cost. Then comes the lease option. I’ve always preferred owning. Here in LA, what you drive is who you are.

I just went on a big journey of looking for my dream car, the perfect match.
I love the environment, I figured getting a Toyota Prius was the way to go. Yes I’d save in gas but would it be worth it?

I had a conversation with a friend of mine who also moved in LA recently. She advise me to get a convertible. Being European, new in LA, usually the choice is easy: either Mini Cooper or mustang. I wanted to be original, small, discreet but fashionable. Yes, that’s who I am. I looked on ever dealer’s lot, for hours, comparing the mpg per gallon. Learning about the car business, the warranties, checking blogs on car (which trust me act as sleeping pills).

However, after all this torture, one shiny day, I finally had a crush. This crush I was expecting for so long. Yes I had a crush on a car. It felt good because I’m sure she felt it too. I’m guessing its a she, I mean the interior is beige the exterior is night blue. Okay she is convertible so it helps.
The sun is shinning, I just pull a button and in 20 seconds, I can feel wind on my face coming from the ocean, smell the salty breeze, get a sunbeam. Isn’t it the best feeling? To feel, to experience the gifts of Mother Nature.

Driving a car cannot come without a great playlist. I’ll create a special category for playlists soon. Check out the driving in sunshine one.

You do not only drive a car, everyday you drive your life. You break from time to time. When you are enthusiastic you step on the gas and even use the stick shift to feel like you control your feelings. Do you stop at the red light? You are the only one who can answer. I know it’s risky to just drive through a red light, it’s not even blinking. What if you took a bet? I am not advising you to get into an accident here. Just making some parallels with our lives.
Yes it’s easy to live comfortably, to have a mellow life. To be okay with it, maybe it’s your personality. It’s definitely not mine.
