Ever since I watched Who’s The Boss?, I wanted to own a Jag. I didn’t know what a Jag was, or how it looked, but Angela Bower had one, and she epitomized everything I wanted to grow up to be: beautiful, intelligent, successful, and independent.
I’m twenty-seven, and I drive a silver 2004 Nissan Altima. It’s technically my second car purchase, but I count it as my first. When I started my search, I was looking for fuel economy, and I walked out with an affordable car that felt luxurious because of its size and features. I fell in love with her during the test drive.
I guess we never really know what we want until we get there. Given the opportunity to trade-in my vehicle for either a Jag or a car with better fuel economy, I wouldn’t. Somewhere along the line, she just became everything I wanted. I’m sure some of that is comfort, but a lot of that is pleasant surprise.
