About this episode
When he got his first high paying job, he finally bought the car of his dreams. Since he was a pro in cars and was a big fan of beemers, he bought a brand new one. He literally blew his money on the most sophisticated and luxurious car. He was digging heels about buying it since he had been stuck with his clunker that barely ran for a very long time. Many people told him that he might have been able to choose another car that fit the bill and still have a heavy-duty one that would last him a long time. They advised him that it was definitely not the best bang for his buck since he looked like he would be in the red for some time until he would be able to pay back what he owed. Not only that, but the car he bought really wasn’t worth paying all that money. But nothing made him change his mind. He treated his car like his little baby. He would wake up before dawn, turn up the radio and listen to jazz while washing off any single stain to make it shine like a diamond before cruising off to work. Some people assumed that he wanted to show off. In fact, he got off on sharing his passion about cars. He believed that being passionate about cars was as real as any other passion. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wafa-damlaj/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wafa-damlaj/support
