Love Your Ride!

 

So, for the past few years, I've been riding around in a 1997 Toyota Camry.  Got it from my parents after a few bumps & scrapes from pillars & walls in their underground parkade.  Mom said to Dad, "You're 85 now & if this is happening here, then we're not risking it out there in traffic, so no more driving for you!"  

While it was an older model, it was meticulously maintained.  Dad changed the oil every 3,000 km's & had only logged 66,000 km's on it in 15 years, so it was in great shape.  My parents are the type that like to keep things simple & basic, so not only was it a basic model, but at the time they bought it, there weren't many features or electronics available.  Never mind Low Tech, compared to modern vehicles, it was No Tech!  Manual key door locks, hand-crank windows, & fortunately a simple radio.  But, as a Camry, it was reliable & strong and we appreciated that.

Then, very recently, an opportunity came up for us to have brand new Jeeps be sponsored.  Just a few short months later we picked up my new Jeep Cherokee.  OMG, it has so much technology in it that I'm still going through some culture shock:  Touch Screen Navigation, smart phone integration, climate controls, sensors for almost everything, warning alerts, & much much more.  Plus it rides like a limo; Smooth & Strong!

It has totally rekindled my joy in driving again & wondering how we can help people Love Your Ride again!  So many of us spend enough time in our vehicles that it has become an environment that helps to shape us.  Does your ride support your ideal lifestyle or does it hold you back from it?  Do you look forward to being in it?  Does it help you feel great when you're in it?

We believe you deserve to Love Your Ride too!
