Last week, andrea and I were reunited with our dream car, the aveo sedan. We went to SM taytay after work to buy some groceries when we saw her there, all shiny and seductive. So once again, we felt the desire we fought so hard to overcome last time - the desire to buy a new car.
So what’s the problem with getting a new car? Well, there is none actually, if we had the money. For us, getting the car, you see, would mean getting a loan. And that is what we can’t afford. I mean, we’d probably get approved but what’s the point if we can’t pay it off anyway. (Darn those loan sharks and their false hopes!)
So after reliving the agony of touching it again - the elegant seats, the leather-clad dashboard, steering wheel and shift knobs, we went home sulking. At least, it wasn’t as bad as last time because Mateo was there waiting for us when we arrived. He was the living reminder that we absolutely can not be careless with our spendings. We have to consider each and every buck we’d spend. And this sedan, is just too much of a risk. So we had to move on.
Or at least we tried to. I, still clinging on to the idea of a new car, just surfed the net to get my mind away from it all, when another idea struck me. Heck! If we can’t buy a new one, then we’ll just have to focus our efforts on restoring our current car. So I continued browsing, this time for car shops specializing on restoration.
I found this interesting shop, Leder interia, a shop specializing on leather restoration. When I saw the wallpaper and the gallery, I was instantly glued . I just had to know more about the shop so I kept clicking. Their services, aside from the obvious seat restoration, included tinkering with your dashboard, steering wheels, shift knobs, and even paint restoration. They can accessorize the inside of any car with wooden or metal panels, replace all mattings, and customize the type and shape of seats for you. It was heaven.
I kept picturing the red car with new sporty seats, glossy new paint, and an elegantly-accessorized dashboard… and I got excited. I know it may cost a bit but at least it won’t compare to the prize of a new car. Hey, I’m not that picky. If I can’t buy a new one then I’d settle for a fresh-looking one.
The only problem now is how to save up for it. Oh well.
