The moment you realize you might actually be able to go and get a brand new car is a surprising one for many of us. So accepting are we that used cars are the practical model but you hit an age and your salary hits a number and suddenly the idea to buy new Toyota cars or to at least think about leasing a car comes flooding in. Why not? I'm good enough. I work hard. I can afford a car lease. So you start doing your research and all the practical ducks get into a row. Car leasing and even full on purchasing a car is often less of a financial burden then people expect. Maybe it is that our parents raised us practical or a few years on shaky economic ground had us shell shocked, but leasing a car can be a rewarding and enjoyable experience. I for one have been a hundred percent better off since my decision to lease a car. I am no longer putting good money after bad into a disastrous car that was unsafe and clunky in general. Gone are the days of riding with a radio forever stuck between stations. (As much as I grew ironically fond of the resulting Foghat meets Marc Anthony mash-ups.) So long sweating myself delirious all summer, this air conditioning might even result in a pleasant August road trip. In fact since I chose car leasing over buying used pieces of junk my whole life feels a lot better. I am more eager to hop in the car and do things like trips to the beach and the local Six Flags. I have been having fun and it has been in an energy efficient car. You really could not beat that if you tried. And honestly for far too long I really did try. I was riding around in junky used cars from high school through college and to the deep later half of my twenties. At some point you really start to think is this all there is? Then you look in the paper one day and see some car leasing deals and it all changes. Boy am I glad I did that. Now that I am in my own new car I am like a new man rediscovering the road. Car leasing companies get guys like me on the road everyday. Once you are out there you really feel the difference. Your car becomes a point of pride as appose to a way to get from point A to point B. It becomes something you want people to notice instead of just a thing you hope they will ignore. It is your car, it should make you feel proud.
