Kinda young, kinda wow! The author poses with his new ride with a lift of the foot, showing how fresh he feels.
Like you, I’m always looking for ways to cut costs, and if I can save money and increase my fun quotient while doing it, then let the games begin!
So, when I got an offer from Hello Kitty to drive a car painted up to promote the Feline of Salutations, I was eager to participate. Hello Kitty provides me with a free car, and a tidy little stipend for fuel and maintenance, so my ground transportation costs have gone to zero!
And He Shall Have Music Wherever He Goes
Driving an infinitesimally tiny car has many advantages. It’s super easy to park and the truly obese don’t ask you for a ride to Dunkin Doughnuts.
But, perhaps the best part about my Hello Kitty-mobile is that it’s just a great attention getter, and sure-fire conversation starter. When I haul my 6′ 1″ fully grown man, way past 21, frame out of a car the size of one of Shaquille O’Neal’s sneakers, I’m instantly Mr. Popularity!
So, guys, if you want to increase your street-cred with junior high and teenage girls, their mothers and grandmas, and male flight attendants, get in on this now. It’s just easier to meet folks with a cool car.
Other Markets for Men
Of course, depending on your niche, you may want to look into a sponsorship from a company that reflects their interests. Cars decorated with beer ads and Yeager shots almost guarantee you’ll meet women with faded tattoos, Boniva grabs a more mature woman, and if you want to catch the liberal gals, (like Janine Garafolo) then check out the Obama car.
But, be forewarned, the doors are huge and when both are open at the same time to get the 3D effect, it’s hard to fit it in a compact car parking space.
As usual, I look forward to your comments and questions below.
