We missed our Innova

-->

Many times on the road, we chanced to drive side by side with a Toyota, Innova, the make of our previous car that I liked so much. Hubby and I decided to sell ours after he was issued a new Kia Carens by his company. Since the former was sold, I always sighed every time I saw one identical to it I can’t take my eyes off on one that looks exactly the same as "used to be"our Innova.. I was very vocal with my feelings regarding the said car. .

Early this year, we were about to go home from watching Hot Air Balloon Fiesta in Clark, Pampanga when I saw another exact look-a-like of our Innova (or so I thought). When we came near it, we saw it was indeed the car I was missing…the Innova car we used to own! For me, it was like seeing a long lost child. Funny, but we couldn’t help but gently touch it once again and peeped into the interior. (Lol) And to record the moment, daughter and I posed with it for the last time. And the result were those big smiles!

Hubby and Cars

I think I have already mentioned before how hubby is so captivated with cars. It is not to the extent of having a collection of it though, (obviously, he can’t afford that!) but rather, having thorough interest on car makes and models and the accessories as well.

His first car was an Isuzu Gemini, a pre-owned car. For him, it was already a big accomplishment considering that he was only an ordinary clerk back then. He pursued that goal after we had acquired our own house and lot few years after we were married. Li’l more years after, he disposed it in exchange for a locally manufactured AUV. He thought it was more practical ‘coz he could earn extra income by picking up passengers, mostly employees from the Business Center of Makati. He was doing that on his way to the office and home. But he got tired of it after having been apprehended many times for being an illegal public transport. (Lol!) He sold it and got his first brand new car, a Toyota Corolla. He so loved that car that he kept it for long even after he had been issued his own car plan by his company, a brand new Toyota Innova.

But could you guess his ultimate dream car? It’s a Mercedes Benz! Oh, how he drools over that luxurious car! I would always see that desire when he sees one on the road. Also, a Dodge Ram 1500 is a total eye catcher for him. Perhaps, it’s masculine make is what captures his fancy. But for now, he is perfectly satisfied with his Kia Carens, a far cry from the two pricey cars but a lovable one just the same.
