A mobile society
Have you ever sat at a traffic light and watched all of the cars drive by? I was doing that the other day and trying to see if I saw more than one make and model of car go by. There is such a huge variety of cars out there! I think that I have a love/hate relationship with cars. Sometimes I think that they are a necessary evil. We need them to get to places quickly. But they are extremely expensive and hazardous to the environment!
Don’t get me wrong, as much as I love horses I don’t want to go back to the days where horses were our mode of transportation! What I don’t like about cars and trucks is that for many of them there is a built in obsolescence that forces the owners to buy new cars or trucks because they wear out quickly! Gone are the days where they lasted a good long time! And I don’t like how many of them are status symbols. I was talking to my neighbor yesterday about his son and he told me that his son was looking for a ferrari review to help make up his mind what kind of car to buy.
As for me, cars that expensive are simply a form of gluttony! Flaunting wealth just seems so tasteless to me! I don’t understand why someone needs to buy a vehicle that costs that much money when they could get a perfectly good vehicle like a ford flex or acura and have plenty of money left over to spread around and help some charitable organization to get closer to their goals.
