Test-drive your fantasy car
This is an opportunity to get what you want, if only for a short time, to see if it’s really you.
If you want to make an even bigger statement than the test drive, rent the vehicle for a day, and pretend that it’s really your car. How does it feel to cruise around in that red convertible Alfa Romeo, or that sleek Jaguar you’ve been thinking about since you were fourteen years old?
Maybe your dream vehicle is a four-wheel-drive Jeep, or a pickup truck. Rent it. Be with it. Drive it around and see how you feel about it at the end of one day. In just twenty-four hours you’ll know if your fantasy was justified, or if reality just didn’t measure up to your image of it.
Even if your everyday routine consists of two kids and a station wagon, you can be a completely different person for a spell if you decide to bop around town in a ‘65 cherry Mustang. Make sure your car comes equipped with a great stereo.
