This is about the time i started to look at cars.
I am not a huge lover of these boxes. They are large, cumbersome and too serious for my taste. Owning a car is every male’s dream though. In all it’s sleek appeal, style and splendor, it screams for attention and a shoutout of maturity as one is able to pay off the hefty installment plan.
Thus, in the search of my own box that would represent who i am, here are my first look into cars that i might like.


Why. Convertibles are a number choice for me as i enjoy, largely, feeling the wind in my hair. Driving in a normal car with the frames of the top half of the car blocking the blind spots has always irritated me. I’m an avid fan of checking blind spots and the window frames of a car distracts my attention each time i look over my shoulder.
I’m not a fan of sports cars and i love all things practical. C’mon, do we have long distances in town to be driving a sports car in?
I do factor style over many things though, thus a love for all things vintage.
I love attention too, but in a different sense. I’m probably wrong, but, somehow, i do feel vintage car owners ooze a sleek appeal and that sports car owners tend to be really childish snobbish people. This kind of cars project who i want others to perceive me.
Though i love all things practical, the downside of such vintage cars is the lack of ease of maintenance as parts are difficult to obtain. Given the age of the car, it also means a slew of problems that i would be taking over.
This is the Alfa Romeo.
