This one is going to be short. It's the kind of post I hate. I always roll my eyes at the posts where people are like, "Oh I just got this, like, totally cool new <fill in the gadget> and I just wanted all my AR buddies to know how great I am."
But we are going to pick up a different car tomorrow. I am making the leap from a 2001 minivan to a 2005. I don't believe in buying new cars, but to me this is a big deal. I'm a weirdo. It's just that we have been blessedly without a car payment for a while now, and so this makes me a little jumpy. I have been enjoying blowing that extra money on dinners out and useless junk for my kids.
But, here is the question. Is this going to help my business? It's a factor for me. I feel like maybe driving an older car is not good for my super-cool Realtor image. Because you know, when I pull up in this newer bad- boy van, respect will be IMMEDIATE. People will be knowing how cool I am even before I step foot out of my giant white egg on wheels.
Yeah, I'm totally convinced. I'm so going to sell more houses now. I'll be oozing confidence. Forget the cute little sportster or the Hummer. The minivan is the way to go. Or should I take a second look at the station wagons...? Those always inspire the envy of my peers.
What do you drive? What does it say about you? I dare you to share.
