New cars are like catnip for some people.
We get it. There's something alluring and almost sexy about the idea of driving a new car. The smell of fresh leather, high-tech features, and shiny interiors that haven't endured trauma at the hands of a four-year-old armed with juice and Play-Doh.
It's a dream many of us have long-harbored.
New cars mean no worries. Theoretically, anyway. When you're whippin' around the 208 in a new ride, you might have 99 problems, but at least you know your car ain't one. You're living your best life behind the wheel, and it feels amazing.
Are Boise streets lined with automotive eye candy?
Depends on who you ask. There's no shortage of flashy cars and trucks cruising around the Treasure Valley.
Some folks can't help but marvel at them. You know the kind. They're the wannabe gearheads slowing the rest of us down to rubberneck the new Tesla truck at the height of five o'clock traffic on Eagle Road like it's a mechanical masterpiece.
Newsflash: it's not. Damn thing looks like a fridge on wheels💯
Then there's the rest of us...
the ones who really couldn't care less. "You got a new car?! Cool, man! Super happy for you. What else is new?" It isn't that we can't appreciate the beauty of a top-tier vehicle, we can. But for every genuinely cool, unpretentious ride, there's usually one that screams, "Look at me compensating!" Sort of like a few of the cars in the gallery below.
