A Car Becomes a Family Member

A Car Becomes a Member

By: Utkarsh

Hello all, today I will be writing my perception and presenting my views on the relation of a family or passenger car with the family it is living with.

According to statista.com in the survey taken in the year 2019 says around 55% of the respondents said that they own a car. Though its not a huge number but that's not even the point I am focusing on.

Generally where we live, a decent amount of people owns a car. Depending on their day-to-day use and the roads they face in their regular life, its upon them, which car do they chose to own. Those who live and generally have to travel in city either alone or with family members of 4 to 5 and light luggage goes with hatchbacks (Swift, i10, Santro, Punto, Baleno, Figo, etc.) or crossovers (Brezza, Creta, i20, S-Presso, S-Cross, etc.), the ones who need more comfortable city ride with ample of space, often goes with sedans (like Dzire, Amaze, City, Ciaz, Aspire, etc.).

Sometimes people even with daily jobs prefer driving SUVs or MPVs but its completely upon their choice.

Why do many people prefer to have car? What I understand is because it have many benefits over a 2-wheeler. It is whether friendly, you can go anywhere in your car whether its cloudy, raining, sunny or winters. It provides you more room for keeping more items, provides you comfortable and safe journey.

Whenever a 4-wheeler comes in the family. After a period of time it becomes a part of family. Even the ones who don't drive or the ones who just like to sit and go on a long drive starts liking it. Sometimes it makes your commute easier even at times when no other mode of transport is available. At times when you have to go at someone's house in very less time and you can't wait for taxi/autos.

The amount of happiness a family feels and celebrates while bringing either a new or an used car to their home is often equivalent to bringing a new-born child back to home. Also, the pain of separation of that non-living thing is not smaller than a breakup story. At that point of time you start having the flashback of how you use to spend time with your favorite machine. 

Though this pain too lasts for very minute time only until another one is not back at your home.

Thank you
