The Hybrid Habit
May 29, 2009
Addiction has many different definitions, yet all state that it is a state in which the body depends on a substance for normal functioning.
This morning, I took a phone order for a man who has four previous orders with Juiced Hybrid already, and thousands of dollars invested in our products as well. The minute he started speaking I recognized his voice-friendly fellow. Soon enough, we began conversing on the bittersweet addiction that revolves around hybrid cars. He said that each time he buys an accessory and installs it; he cannot help but come back for more. It started with small things; evmodes, floor mats and heat shields. Now, he is on to bigger, bolder things like hitches, bike racks, and suspension kits. With every purchase, it is as though his appetite is more and more satisfied; yet ceasing to be filled.
As or conversation got lost in the world of hybrid parts and accessories, I realized that we were not alone-many people have made their hybrid an important part of their lives, and devoted much attention to it. There are many proud addicts out there, some might just be nervous to admit it. Some of these people have placed multiple orders, and occasionally even order the same product twice, “to give one to a friend”.
There is a sense of happiness, though, which comes through this addiction, and it is threefold. First, our cars are becoming more personalized and custom to our wants and needs with each product we acquire. Who wouldn’t want their commute, road trip, or errand-running-adventures to be just a tad more enjoyable? Secondly, feeling as though we are part of a large, and important, global community creates a sense of pride and culture among the hybrid owners. Surely, there are many of us who Proceed to Checkout and have no need to log in-as we are already members: what a great sensation! Lastly, endless excitement brings a contagious feeling of happiness. Being constantly excited to install and improve will put a smile on anyone’s face. Just entering into JuicedHybrid.com, and seeing all of the new products is enough to make a hybrid owner’s heart race.
Parts and accessories ranging from things like decals, to bumper protectors, electronic gadgets, and even body kits are hard to ignore when staring at you through the computer screen. Don’t be ashamed or embarrassed about your addiction to hybrids (and everything revolving around them)..we all have that same craze! Just jump on the bandwagon and join the party!
