There’s something about owning a car it’s almost like a bond and we expect it to perform without fail daily or perhaps a fun road trip, and most develop a fondness for their ride. Some may own an older vehicle and pray each morning it will help them reach their destination, all because the car has a hold of the owner’s heartstrings.

Some including myself always in the back or our minds envisioned a “dream” car that we’ve always loved and secretly wish we owned. When I was young I always dreamed of owning an Austin Healey. Yes, I’ve heard the stories about the dependability and expensive upkeep but in my young mind, I could just picture myself taking a road trip to the beach with the wind in my hair.

As I’ve matured over the years my tastes in automobiles have changed. At one time I drove a Dodge Ram Truck and it was perfect for my needs. Now I wouldn’t be happy with either selection. The Austin Healey would be too low to the ground and the Truck sat too high from the ground, and I know my arthritis would never be happy with either choice.

Today I’m all about comfort, durability, gas mileage, safety, and easy in and out access for myself. It not a bad thing to admit I need to consider my pain level and whether or not I would be able to get in and out of the auto without help or risk of falling and causing an injury.
