My (Dawn) Dream Cars


So my husband and I were talking the other day about cars.  Big surprise there.  LOL!  We were discussing what cars we would want if we were to ever come into lots of money.  So I started to wonder what other people would want.  And  I decided to actually sit down & make my own list.

Before I begin with my list, I do want to state that I would not get rid of any of the cars that we currently own.  There would be no reason to & they are just too much fun to drive.  The Viper is considered to be a collectors car because it is the first generation.  The Parnelli Jones Saleen is 1 of 500 so another collector car.  And the General Lee just because it is the General Lee, though we would get the car redone.


The first car that I would go out & purchase is the new 2013 SRT Viper.  Not sure really why, but I really love the car.  Of course, having 600 HorsePower could have something to do with it.  LOL!


The next car on my list is the Lamborghini Aventador.  This car was really just put on my radar after watching Tanner Foust drive it on Top Gear.  What an incredible car!  I was so impressed with it.  It is 0-62 MPH in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of  217 MP.


The third car on my wish list would be the Porsche GT2.  This would be a car that I would love to just take out on the track.  It has 450 HP at 6000RPM.  Not the fastest car out there, but would still be fun to take out & run at the track.


The fourth car on my wish list is a rare car.  In fact, one of our dogs was named after it.  The Lamborghini Miura.  I just think that this is a cool car.  It was the first Lamborghini built & the first real super car.  It is the car that started it all for the super cars.


And the last car on my list would be an original 1967 Shelby Eleanor.  I fell in love with that car in the movie Gone in 60 Seconds.  Just a gorgeous car!  And one I would not mind having in my garage.


That is my list & it is of course subject to change as the new cars start to make their debuts at the car shows.  I think it is always fun to think about what cars you would love to own.  Who knows?  Maybe one day one or more of my dream cars will be sitting in our garage.  But in the meantime, it’s fun to dream.

  1. Your dog must be really classy and fast. LOL! I'm also a fan of Lamborghini, Dawn. :) It's one of the high performance mid-range engine sports cars, you know. If your dog knew about this, it'll be so proud of its name. Haha!

  3. I think that's a very cute scene that you've been discussing about your dream car if ever you acquire a big fortune. :) I love that 1967 Shelby Eleanor! If it is a guy, it would be a hottie. :* Anyway, my dream car would always be a Dodge Challenger regardless of the generation. :D -->Stelle

  4. Count me in, Leisa! I'm also a loyal fan of Lamborghini! Haha! It has a very stylish design that speaks sophistication. But anyhow, nothing can beat the Dodge Charger. This model is what I usually see in car chasing scene in modern Wild West action films.
