Image Link: One-77
Original Assignment Link: CAR LUST
THE ASSIGNMENT: Take a picture, or find a picture on the web of a car that you love. Then, write a description of how that car makes you feel. This combines the visual of a car, with the story telling aspect, of how the object makes you feel.
THE PROCESS: I found this image on Aston Martin’s production website, saved it to my desktop and uploaded it to my blog, a fairly simple process, although it took me awhile to find the perfect picture.
THE STORY: The Aston Martin is, in my opinion, one of the hidden secrets of the car industry. Everyone that has ever seen a James Bond movie has seen an Aston Martin, but not many have actually seen these cars being driven in their hometown. There is a sense of style and class that this type of car has that no other car in the world can achieve. I chose this car because I think that it fits well with my personality, not because I think that I’m James Bond, but because I feel that this car was designed for people who have the same sense of style that I do. Ferrari’s and Lamborghini’s are too extravagant, they bring too much attention to the owners, and are used as a tool to “show off” the amount of money that the owner possess. Mercedes and BMW’s are very nice cars, but everyone owns a Mercedes. So, if you want to own a car that is different, classy, and doesn’t drawl too much attention; there’s only one choice (in my opinion), and that’s the Aston Martin. However, they are expensive cars, but everyone has a dream, and this is my dream car.
