Where Does The Fast Car Obsession Originate?

If you did a poll to people and asked what their dream car would be I can almost guarantee that it would be something very fast, very shiny and that would attract attention from the opposite sex. Where does this idea actually originate from?

Games

Games such as Forza and GT are getting much more realistic as they get older and I cannot wait for the new GT to arrive. I have to say that I am an Xbox guy so nothing will replace my Forza 3. Many people will sit down and play a game and really want that car that they are currently racing with. The graphics on these games have jumped ahead massively which means you almost do not even need to go to a showroom to look at the car, on top of this the game play has been made very realistic.

Childhood

I remember the days in which I sat playing with the model cars I had been bought and thinking I would simply love to own this Ferrari or something along those lines. At that stage it is almost as if you actually sit down and set yourself a goal, you know what kind of car you are going to be getting at such a small age. For many people who have no played on the Xbox and Playstation in their childhood is the main way of getting these thoughts.

Celebrities

It is very true to say that the top celebrities have a lot of followers and what car they drive is very important to these people. A lot of people would be very happy that they own the same car as someone famous.
Of course realistically this is not going to happen and people are struggling to get a car on something like bad credit car finance or bad credit car loans. Other options like gap insurance and car leasing are out there to help people who want that fast car.
