Would you go for a sedan or SUV?

Would you go for a sedan or SUV?

Here’s the poll question: Traveling Texas, would you for small cars like a sedan in Arlington or would you rather drive an SUV in Arlington?

I thought of conducting this survey because I still have not recovered from last week’s jaunt with friends. I remember upon landing at the DFW Airport, a limousine that zoomed past us immediately sparked a debate between girls and boys because nobody would concede to the other. The boys said what we just saw wasn’t a limousine because it can’t possibly be driven on a rough terrain. We vehemently disagreed and argued that a limo can be any luxurious vehicle that offers complimentary champagne, an outstanding sound system and a handsome chauffeur on the wheel.

I was beginning to think of the boys as nuisance and wished they didn’t have to come. Lila, my best girlfriend since kindergarten, said she knows of a van rental in Fort Worth which she was about to call to have us picked up when the guys gloated they’ve already booked an SUV to take us to our Arlington hotel. Talk about miscommunication in this group and a disastrous vacation awaiting us all, I thought to myself.

Instead of prolonging the discussion, we gave in to the boys’ decision and waited for their precious SUV to arrive. I don’t know with other girls but personally, I’m for small cars. Well, not as small as Mr. Bean’s as I would hardly be able to breathe in that one. Just the average car that won’t make me feel like one of the Smurfs while driving.

I recall a cousin who used to live with my Aunt Linda in Texas back in college sent me her picture once. She was in the driver’s seat of an orange sedan in Dallas which I found very feminine. As I examined the car, I began to imagine its designer as someone so madly in love with his wife, or mother, thus creating such beautiful features for a car any woman would love to own and drive for the rest of her life.

It could appear small exterior wise, but my cousin said her sedan has a generous legroom, high end audio system and a Bluetooth to top it all. I know of men who find the sedan irresistible and this makes me wonder all the more why my set of male friends don’t.

I was still savoring the image of the sedan in my head when the black SUV came into sight. Hmmm…not bad but I’ll have to see inside first, I thought as I loaded myself into the vehicle.
