It is important to treat the car with love and care.
After fully enjoying shopping at the two bookstores, "Kangoo" will return to Kanagawa, where Mita-san is based.
Mr. Mita drives the Kangoo with great care, moving the steering wheel firmly. The day was spent enjoying all the charm of the Kangoo, not only as a means of transportation, but also as an event stall. On the way home, I was impressed by what he had to say.
I was driving a long distance, and one day I suddenly thought, 'Cars are like living things. I was driving an old car at the time, and it would go bad when it was hot, or when it was loaded with heavy cargo. If I let it run for long periods of time, it would still be unresponsive, as if it were gasping for air. So, as a result, it broke down. I realized that it was a bad idea to think of the car as just a machine. It is important to treat the car with love and affection, such as by giving it care, and taking breaks when driving long distances.
It may be important to treat cars with such consideration because they usually carry heavy loads and because the distances they have to travel have increased due to the increase in the number of stores opening in rural areas.
I think that makes the car feel more like a partner. I always drive my car with that kind of feeling.
