As I stand in my driveway, my 2014 Nissan Pathfinder is clear in my
sight. Its smooth, shiny surface glistens in the sunlight. The exterior is
coated with an arctic blue finish that somehow makes me feel like I’m at the
beach, watching the waves steadily roll in. When I make my way to the car’s
anterior, I study the tapered front as it has the face of a familiar friend. It
has a sporty look with a hint of attitude. Sometimes I find myself staring at
the headlights because I wait to see if they will wink at me. The tires are
like fluffy, black marshmallows that are made up of four perfect circles. They
can easily daze anyone who stares into them long enough. Then, I gaze upon the
silver door handles that give the impression that I’m about to enter a
different world. Now that I am inside, I step onto the solid, rubber-grooved
car mat that give me the confidence I need when I embark on a taxing journey.
Its heated seats and ample passenger room are like the comfort of a nice warm
bed when you wake up on a Saturday morning. I can feel the smooth, comforting
leather seats beneath me are like the texture of human skin. When I pull the
seatbelt across my body, I am reminded of a protective parent who puts their
arm out to shield their child during a close call. Then, I shift my attention
to the windows which are like large IMAX theatre screens that provide a clear
picture of the outside world, but without the sound. After that, I look up to
the double moon roof that allows me to watch the sunset on a spring evening.
Then, the powerful, booming car horn that imitates a Mac truck, jolts me awake.
