There’s a theory that the goods that you have in your life are what make you. Take for instance the car. Is it really the car that makes the man? or the wo-man? I know that there are designs that are more sexy than others. Like a lot of things, there are the things we hoard that definitely dictate the life we have around us.
Sad as it is, there is a stigma in Los Angeles and probably many other places where the car you drive can certainly turn on or off a member of the opposite sex, or someone you might fancy. I’ve overheard many a conversation in social arenas where someone happens to ask what do you do and what kind of car do you drive. Being that I’m one of those people who doesn’t care about the job, I usually answer with something funny unless a friend speaks up for me. When it comes to the car, I usually don’t respond as I think it’s unimportant. Not because I don’t drive a nice car, I do. But because it’s more a matter of is that car working. That’s all that matters.
There is no doubt when someone has a taste that runs with great industrial design it can be said that someone cares about themselves. I can’t argue that as I’m one of those people that likes to use products that make use of amazing industrial design. I guess it coincides with the fact that I like to take care of myself in many ways.
Since I’m speaking about cars, I would say it’s a good time to play a song by the cars for Single of the Day. Here’s a cool mellow tune by The Cars called Drive. It’s a great song for a multitude of reasons. One is the melody. Two is the chords. Three is the production. Four is the lyrics. Five is it’s a different vocal from most of their other songs.
It’s a winner all the way around.
That gives me an idea of maybe I’ll respond by saying I drive a car when someone asks.
