How Your Car Can Define Your Lifestyle
Does your lifestyle define your car, or does your car define your lifestyle? It can go either way and when you’re looking at new luxury cars, you’re taking control of your lifestyle (for the better). There’s a reason what we drive has always been a symbol of who we are and what we value. Sometimes people even make a point to meet someone where they can see what they drive in order to judge them—a car can tell you a lot about a person, including what they can afford. Is it fair to judge a person by their vehicle? Maybe not, but it regularly happens. This isn’t true just for luxury car owners, either.
