Airstream Classic…
Could this finally make caravaning kewl?
The re-invention of the Airstream is taking the world by storm. Matthew McConnor-HEY! has one!
so that means it must be kewl, right?
This truly does make you feel torn. Because it’s “classic” “old school” “retro” and other words that you usually want to feel part of. And Matt has one. But does that mean it’s kewl? It’s hard to know the truth. Let’s look a little closer ::
The Airstream has those newly redone funky, retro lines :: and by “funky” I really mean “crap” and by retro I really mean “clunky” :: and all buffed metal and chrome and stuff. AND it provides loft-style living on wheels! How clever…
The message :: Everybody needs one, i’ve ordered mine already! If you don’t think the airstream is kewl then you’re not kewl. Coz it’s retro on the outside and hi-tech on the inside. Every holiday home owner in the world will sell their houses and invest in the Airstream by, oh, no time ever soon ever.
So maybe it’s kinda kewl that they’ve juiced up an old legend, but will anybody you know start holidaying in an Airstream? HELL NO! A rose by any other name, is still a rose. And a caravan by any other name, will still make you talk funny and find you hanging out with people who braai for breakfast every day while their kids pork farm animals and eat apple sauce through straws while they sing along to Banjo songs.
Don’t be fooled. Just say no to caravans
Peace
