E66 - New car, same old body

In this video, I discuss the twice yearly race to purchase a new car, in either September or March and how little men (and women) pay attention to their most important vehicle, being their own body. With September upon us, here in the UK, car dealerships eagerly await both first time and repeat customers, looking to snap up a shiny new Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Range Rovers or Mazda. These are just the middle end of the market, not counting for Ferrari's, Aston Martins, Lamborghini's or Porsche's. It's well known, that car enthusiasts think nothing of parting ways with their hard earned money to 'own' the latest gadget laden, fuel guzzling and sometimes head turning fortune on wheels. Whilst this is all well and good, with the 'its a free country' ethos, its noticeable that said purchasers can overlook the engine to end all engines, namely the heart, or biology's own bodywork and chassis, the musculoskeletal system and spine. The average 'median' new car cost in 2024 sits at a staggering £42, 340 according to Auto Trader, as showroom prices continue to rise. Let's compare that to the average annual cost of a gym membership in the UK, being £566.88, according to Leisure Database, State of The UK Fitness Industry Report. In simple math terms, the cost of a new 'median priced' vehicle, would pay for approximately 75 years membership to a mid range gym, or a joint membership for both husband and wife etc, lasting 37 years. A UK based personal trainer will cost in the region of £40 per session, which often lasts between forty five to sixty minutes. So, based on the above findings, your new car cost could also be swapped for a life changing and healthier future under the tuition and accountability of a personal trainer, for approximately twenty years or so, with a once a week appointment, or 10 years, training twice weekly. Just let that sink in folks, in the understanding, it's unlikely you'll still own the shiny new car 10 to 20 years from now, but you will almost certainly own the worlds most impressive vehicle...YOUR BODY.
