Having your own car feels like you own your time. Yes, that's what I feel when I am riding a bus or a jeepney. You can decide whenever you want to go because your car won't leave you. You can even go somewhere else if you want to. You are not only owning your time but you also control your ride. Your the boss when you have your own car. You can buy everything you want because the space is all yours. You can even choose your songs to listen to. And even watch movies anytime, anywhere. That's why I am always dreaming to drive my own car every time I travel to fully enjoy the adventure of my ride. Wink

Welcome here Princess. Nice to meet you, even if just in cyber space!
I agree with your idea of a dream car being one's own. I feel the same way each time I sit in my car... esp. knowing you could drive anywhere any time you want.
Pity though, the routine of our lives don't leave more time for exploration.... but there have been times when I've just aimlessly driven down new streets... listening to music... only to suddenly come across a lovely little park I'd never noticed before! Smile

Hello there "Mr. myownworld" and Thank you for that warmth welcome. Smile
How sad to hear that. hmm. Why not once a week try to enjoy the ride. I mean, a minute can do that. You just have to relax yourself and try to look around. Yes, a minute can do that. Very Happy

Oops sorry. hehe my bad. Thank you for correcting me, now I know. Next time, I should ask first. Smile

Sorry, I can't do the same because I still don't have my dream car. But I'm already practicing that kind of attitude when I'm riding in a bus. Wink

Laughing thank you Mrs. myownworld. hmm. My dream car would be big just like the toyota hi-lux. Yes, that's my dream car. I want to ride on that car with my family. A big one is necessary because my family is big. Very Happy

We just have one car that I drive - to drop my kids to school and then go to work myself etc. Poor hubby takes the tube, but trust me driving in london is SUCH a nightmare that it's the best thing to do.

I like Toyota... I hope you soon have your dream car for your family. I imagine you in it with happy smiling faces around you... Smile

yes, princess... there is something almost empowering about having your own car (and job) and being able to do things independently. I think I understand. It was the same for me the first time it happened... now I'm just used to it...but I try not to take it for granted. Sometimes, I think no one values freedom more than mothers do! anyway, I hope all your dreams come true.... Smile
