If cars could talk, what would they say?

July 14, 2010
Have you ever wondered what your car would say to you, if it could? I sometimes catch myself talking to my car. I’ll be driving alone after a long day, and it only makes sense to strike up a conversation, right? Tell me I’m not alone. Well, let’s take a look at some of my clever sayings! 1Chevrolet Corvette: “I go faster on the weekends!” 2Nissan Cube: “I’m Artsy-Fartsy, aren’t I?” 3Hyundai Genesis: “I’m way cheaper than other luxury cars, and look just as good!” 4Chevrolet Traverse: “I’m not a minivan mom!” 5Nissan Murano: “Sleek, smooth and classy … I’m a catch!” 6Hyundai Sonata: “My gas cap is money! Up to 40 mpg on the highway.” 7Chevrolet Silverado: “I can pull more than you can.” 8Nissan Leaf: “I have no tailpipe. How about that?” 9Hyundai Accent: “Gosh, I’m so cheap I speak monetary.” So tell me … If your car could talk, what would it say?

It’s been referred to as “the new funk!” And that’s exactly what it is. At first, I was a little hesitant about anything that looks like a box on wheels … but once I got in this bad boy, all I can say is “groovy.” Check it out for yourself: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgi433EyNcI[/youtube] There were several things that really stood out in the Nissan Cube. I’m a tall girl, so space is important to me. The head room in this vehicle is through the roof (literally). I could be seven feet tall and still not mess up my hair! The large doors allow for easy in and out access. And the refridgerator-style door in back is great for my shopping bags and groceries. Not to mention, the “techno club-like” interior lighting you got going on inside. How cool is that? So, what do you think about the Nissan Cube? Would you rock it?
