| Many people feel that their cars represent a great deal about themselves. For some, a brand new fast car is a status symbol, for others this is not so important, but their cars can still allow their personality to shine through. We all have differing tastes, and the variety of models and styles of cars available show that car manufacturers are very aware that as well as practicality, we want a vehicle that suits our personality.
Once a style or size of car has been chosen, the next practical step is to choose a model that meets all of your needs, and prioritises what you do. There can be a surprising difference in the use of space within a vehicle; some provide more space for people, others for luggage or shopping. Some people see electric windows or air conditioning as an essential, especially in hotter climates, but as with many things, budget restrictions often govern the cars we end up with. If purchasing a second hand vehicle, get it checked over by a trusted professional who can let you know if you will need to buy brakes, tires or other parts to make it safe. For some, the color of the car makes a big difference. Color is one way in which cars can say things about their owners.
A huge variety of small accessories are available for cars. Bumper stickers and similar items can be humorous or show a liking for a certain town, state or country. They can show that a person gives to certain charities or believes in a certain cause. All kinds of shops sell these sorts of ‘badges’. Many also sell items that can be hung from rear view mirrors, such as novelty air fresheners or the stereotypical fluffy dice. Hanging large objects here is not advisable if they are going to in any way interrupt your view of the road. It is better to place them elsewhere. Some have good luck mascots in their car – a teddy that they have owned from a really early age is a common example. Of course some people choose to have a large number of toys in their car.
For others, modifying their car is a great hobby, making it look unique and/or sporty. For some, changes only occur on the exterior of the vehicle, with the addition of body kits and maybe a spoiler. For others, enhancing performance is the main aim. They may need to buy brakes and tires to match their cars new specifications. If modifying a car, make sure you buy brakes and all other important parts from reputable sources, and get them fitted correctly. If you buy brakes for extra performance and safety, they will of course need to be safely fixed into the car.
Cars may be easy enough to customize, and the beauty of them is that if you prefer not to attract additional attention or shout out about your opinions, you don’t have to. Car owners should always prioritise safety over style. Your car can say a lot about you, if you want it to, but it should always be something that you look after and use carefully.
