Which car would you buy if, by a stroke of luck, you would win a notable amount of money?
That day started like pretty much all others. You woke up, went through your daily routine, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
"Sometime I wish my life could take a change", is what you are saying to yourself often lately. Not that you complain, or that your life isn't that great. I mean, there are many positive things alongside the bad things. It's a balance... Maybe that's the problem. You feel like you would need to step out of balance, even if just for a little bit. Experience something different, do something new.
"Ha, who do I want to fool?" a small note of sarcasm winds through your head while waiting in line at the grocery store. "I cannot even change my dinner from the usual I always have".
The cashier is smiling, unusually so. You feel happy, seeing her smile. Like you are taking part in whatever makes her so cheerful. It feels good.
«Do you want to buy a lottery ticket?» - «Sorry?» - «Yes, the company's doing a lottery sort of thing in the weekend and selling tickets tonight; everyone seems interested in buying one since there's a good sum to win. If you ask me, they just want to see the owner lose a fair deal» she keeps smiling. "Why not?" you think.
It suddenly reminds you about that old joke about the guy asking God after having died why he never made him win the lottery, and God replying that he would have had if only the guy would have actually bought a single ticket in his entire life. You always crave for a change, but never actually step that far out from your routine. This seems easy. You buy one, put it in your pocket, and go home have dinner.
Weekend comes, and you remember about that ticket. "Well I have to go out anyway, so why not have a look too at this lottery at the grocery shop?" seems like they already drawn the winning numbers when you get there. Disappointing, you were expecting something more like a fair for the occasion. Never mind, those things happen only in the movies. Anyway, time to check the ticket...
Next thing you remember is seeing a blurry person asking you how you feel, while handing a glass of water. You try to take a sip. What in the world happened? The person becomes less blurry, and it actually is the cashier, this time visibly worried. «You won!» shouts an over-enthusiastic person in the background. "I did win?" Well that explains the evident faint you just had.
Days go by, and you cash your money from the lottery. So many things possible now, so many options that were simply impossible before! It is no unlimited money, yes, true, but it is enough to actually buy and keep the car you always dreamed off.
Then you go ahead, and finally buy yourself a ____________
What did you buy? Which car do you dream about owning? If you could, what would you put in your garage? A racing car for track days, an exclusive hyper-car, a tuned street-car, a vintage or classic vehicle?
