7 Things Young People Do When They Purchase Their First Car

One of the topmost goal for every Nigerian be it male or female is to stop taking public transports – at least most of the time. Most yearn  to buy a car by the time they have that million in their account.

But what are the things that happen when the car finally arrive? A discussion on Nairaland states these are the 8 things that happen!

1. Owning a car makes you feel like you’re finally a real person . You can just go to places whenever you feel like it . You don’t need to ask anyone, or wait for a bus, or jump okada or walk. You can just drive there. In your own car.

2. You have a long list of new contacts in your phone. for example, Wale mechanic, Tunji panel beater, Seun rewire

3. Cars are expensive . The gas, you were ready for. The payments, you budgeted for. But when you own a car, one day it will start doing something funny—and not funny ha-ha—and you’ll realize that it’s your problem, because it’s your car. When the mechanic calls to tell you what’s wrong and what it will cost to fix, you’ll realize that you’ve now entered a stage of life where large sums of money will suddenly and without warning be required to simply maintain your current standard of living.

4. You’ll always want to go out even when there is no where to go to.

5. For the first few weeks or months or years, you will always drive with perpetual fear of LASTMA and Police even if your papers are okay. You know how they used to do – always finding invisible faults. sad

6. Your guys will always suggest somewhere to go just because there is a car. You automaticlly become their drivers

7. You become a flirt or gigolo. Always dropping and picking different females. Different shapes and sizes and heights and colours.

8. You will start feeling bigger than you really are. You will begin to underrate some people because they use Legediz Benz.
