Goes to buy a G wagon.
DYSREGUALTED. 🥵🫠
I actually nearly pulled out, Twice and forwent my 100K deposit.
I called up my bestfriend and asked her, can you plz tell me if I’m not actually at this level.
I even called my accountant to check first 🤣
I questioned if I was actually even at a stage where I could do this.
It also felt super vulnerable for people outside the coaching industry to see the level I’m at.
It’s like I can hide a Chanel bag and decide what places to take it too, But if I need to do a school run.
I have to take the G because I don’t have another car. LOL!
It felt vulnerable and I had to do a lot of external awareness building to settle in, No this is actually where I’m at. 💁🏻♀️
I also had elements of fear of not being able to be fully celebrated in it.
I had fear of people generalising seeing me buy a luxury car and perceiving what it meant for me.
The fear was true. But me being able to hold that was the lesson. 🔒
This car symbolised a physical representation of the external awareness of my mind into a physical thing.
What’s funnier and what it shows is I didn’t even know the importance of the TOP G, who even made it??? So I did a little digging and you are not going to believe this…
The Shah of Iran influenced the creation of the G-Wagon.
First produced in 1979, the G-Wagon got its name from the German word Geländewagen, which colloquially means ‘cross country vehicle’. This box-shaped SUV was first commissioned by the Shah of Iran, who was at the time a significant shareholder of Mercedes. The entire journey from being used as a military vehicle to being considered a liability for the company, the G-Wagon saw many ups and downs before finally transforming into a modern-day favorite of many consumers and celebrities.
The genesis for the G-Wagon came out of an unrelated but massive 20,000-truck order from the Shah of Iran in the 1970s. Again a significant shareholder in Mercedes at the time, the Shah’s order also stood for a tempting deal. To fulfill the Shah’s requirements, the carmaker required external help in its production phase.
This led to Mercedes collaborating with Steyr-Daimler-Puch, a military equipment manufacturer based in Austria. Mercedes further extended this collaboration when the Shah suggested that the vehicle be built as an all-wheel-drive SUV for military use in his empire.
Are you also a fan of the G-Wagon?
Dropping half a million on a car but wait who actually created this car!!!
