Toyota Life 2.0 l TDi

Life is like cars. You got these exiting cars with 4.2 l V12’s, you got these crappy cars with 1.6 l V4 and you got these ordinary 2.0 l V4.

It’s no doubt where the Ferrari and Masserati goes, the most exiting cars are really fun to drive, but maintenance and driving cost are really high, and everything you do is being watched closer upon then the ordinary cars. You get judged, there’s the: “Ah, he’s probably compensating for something else “ha-ha…”” and it’s the: “Wow! That guy’s must be cooool!” But in the end, you’ll never find a 30 year old Ferrari, or at least one that’s not a wreck…

Let’s talk about the Peugeot 206 for a second, with 1.4 l engines, it’s not quite the racer, but there are still some people that buy it and tell them self that they’re happy, when they’re actually devastated that they can’t go faster then 80MPH. Many people are worried to, that some day you might brake down. The most of the people living the Peugeot 206 life isn’t the looker either. Most of them have let them self go and they rust really quickly. Once you damage the car, it’s often beyond fixable. But there are exceptions… For example the Mazda miata, it doesn’t have a really big engine, but the weight distribution makes it go like hell. If you find these babies, you are one of the luckiest persons in the world.

And of course, there’s the Volvo V70 life. You can’t really go wrong with this one. Its stability is just something that the exiting cars and boring cars can dream of, and nobody really cares about you. But every once in a while, you stumble across a bump and the car is broken, but nothing unfixable. But sometimes, the Volvo V70 owner wishes he had a V70R. But as soon as he tries the V70R, he realizes that he was happier with the V70. These cars can go for ages, but slowly rust.

But of course, you got these unique cars. Like the Bugatti’s, Maybachs etc. These are the special cars. You won’t don’t see them often, but they are there, and sometimes you don’t even notice them. They just pass trough your life in a flash.
