Travelling in a dream

It’s difficult motivating yourself to go for a run and tone up for the summer when it’s rainy and cold outside.  Sometimes it’s difficult to find the motivation even when it’s sunny. 

To be honest, even the thought of driving to the gym is often too much. There are things on TV that need watching, after all, and the sofa looks lonely without you.

How about jumping in the Cadillac and using the built-in leather-seat exercise bike while watching the HD TV?

“As if that sort of fabulous vehicle existed,” I hear you say. 

Oh but it does! For the jet-set, the Becker Cadillac Escalade ESV is a reality – and you were pleased to have a cup holder and CD player in your car…

But no need to feel embarrassed – there’s not many people who could afford such an indulgent mode of transport.

Costing in between £83,500 and £161,000, depending on what fancy extras the owner chooses to have fitted in the wood and leather interior, the vehicle apparently allows the person to “take the rush out of rush hour.”

The company says, “Spend your private time any way you like. Watch a movie, or just rest and relax in a spacious interior that no European sedan or limousine can match.”

Well that’s all very well and good, but on top of not being able to afford this car, I’d need to be able to afford to pay a chauffer’s salary in order to enjoy my car as a passenger!

How much the car insurance would cost doesn’t bear thinking about really.
