Mike and I always talk about our dream cars. It became more of a topic because of all the money in Florida made most obvious by that $250k+ car in a Sarasota parking lot.
So, I'm bored since we're in the car and I'm not the driver (DUH!!). So, I figured I would list my dream cars and allow for Mike to post the cars I may have missed or that we cannot agree on.
The cars are in no particular order because that considers brain cells I do not wish to expend. And quite frankly, if any one of these were to come into my possession I'm certainly not to decline if provided in the wrong order or even got the color wrong. Also, it doesn't include cars that we own because obviously that's a dream fulfilled.
Keep in mind that I will most likely start to use the same adjectives because those few words basically explain why its on the list.
1. E46 BMW M3: this is undoubtedly the best M3 of all time. Power, agility and class are just a few of its attributes. If I had my way, it would be totally blacked out. I'd accept it as a convertible but would rather have the sun roof because the convertible I want [back] is on this list too.
2. 2008 E88 BMW 135i Cabriolet: I want the one we custom-built back. I want to put our country stickers back on it (yes, I still have those). I want to drive it on the tracks. One day, when there is available coin, I will run a Craig's list ad and it will be mine again.
3. Lamborghini Adventador: It's a gorgeous, fast and powerful beast of a performance car. And why not? This is the dream list after all. This car I want in red.
4. Volkswagen Phaeton: With its W-12 and awesome appearance, this all wheel drive dub, this is THE Volkswagen super car. I would also accept the V10 TDI version of this car. This beast needs to be completely blacked out.
5. Volkswagen Passat Wagen: This is what wet my pallet for the wagens. Any engine will do. I think I would like this in gunmetal.
6. Audi R8: Another speedy, fun car. And its just hot! I'll take this in black too.
7. Saturn Sky/Opel GT: This American sports car (yes, it was manufactured in Delaware, not in Germany by Opel) was the last hoorah for the Saturn brand, even if it was underpowered. It had gorgeous lines and had potential to rank with other American supercars (after you stick a turbo or a bigger, better tuned engine in it). This car will be silver also.
8. 2000-whatever Pontiac GTO: There is one at work that I see when I work normal-people hours. It sounds beautiful with its throaty exhaust note. It was the last super car from Pontiac even if it was imported from the GM Australian brand, Holden. I will take the one at work because it is blacked out.
9. New SS: It's only sold for police patrol cars but it's also a very awesome reincarnation of a classic. And it's rear wheel drive. Not white is the color of choice.
10. Corvette: I'm excited for the new one due out next year. Fast, powerful and the ultimate of American driving machines. I like it in orange.
11. BMW 2002: This is not a BMW built in the year 2002. 2002 is the model. I took an interest in this '60s bimmer because it's a BMW enthusiast car. It's a treat to see one because this car is few and far between in numbers, unless you're in NJ. It was powerful for its time. I think the only color it comes in is orange.
12. Cadillac CTS-V: I like this in the wagon but will gladly take it in the coupe. Actually, can't say that I would mind having both in black.
13. Ferrari California: Italian super car and I want it for the same reasons as the first Italian on the list. And it would also be in red.
14. Tesla S: It's the cool and more powerful electric vehicle that looks good too. Not too sure about my preferred color on this car.
15. Jaguar xJ: Not too much of a Jag person but this happened. It's sleek and fast Jaguar done good with this one. Black is the color for this. (Because the animal is black)
16. Porsche Carerra 4s: Another fast German. It was always a treat to see this on the tracks over there. I think black is appropriate for this too.
17. Nissan GTR: Again an awesome super car but this time from the far east. Silver to compliment the carbon fiber details.
I think that is all of them. I hopefully will be driving after the dinner pit stop so Mike can provide his take on the list.
