For some people it may seem ridiculous but I think that men change greatly after they purchase cars! They are no longer the same. I can not explain these changes in their characters and styles of life but these changes really take place; it is a fact!
Take for example a good friend of mine. We have spent all our childhood and school years together, we have never had any secrets from one another. We could understand one another even without words! I really valued this friendship.
But something has changed after he had bought a car. At present he speaks with greater interest about brake systems store that he visited last Friday or about Motard filters for his car, but not about our common problems, interests or hobbies. I’m not against cars, NO! To my mind cars make our lives easier and more comfortable, but in my opinion they shouldn’t replace all spheres of men’s lives.
For instance last time when we went to our favourite cafe for a cup of coffee with tasty cakes he spoke only about the fact that he needed to buy car seat cover and some spare parts. Frankly speaking it was quite interesting to learn some new facts about them: for example I had always thought that he bought spare parts for his car in special shops, but it turned out that there are interesting shops and auctions on the Internet, where you have an opportunity to buy the same parts cheaper and even order delivery to your place. He buys tires online as well and his beloved shop is Uniroyal tires store. To my mind that’s great! It really saves your time; everything you need is just to find necessary replacement part and order it.
It was very nice to learn this fact, but in 30 minutes I got tired, as my friend was talking only about his car, about Lotus tuning, GPS navigators and so on and so forth. Every time when I tried to change topic he returned to this particular one. That’s why in an hour I got tired and lost any interest to our conversation; I lied that I had to visit my sister and left. It’s a pity but it seems to me that it’s an end to our good relations…
