Long time no see! Been super crazy busy since my last post. Finals, tornadoes, trying to find a job for the summer... ugh. ANYWAY... on to today's list: 5 of my dream cars!
***Up front disclaimer: I know next to nothing about cars, and these are pretty much ranked as to how pretty they are. :) (Although I do know a little bit about a couple of them.)
1. Audi TT
Hello, gorgeous! Ok, it's a Volkswagen at heart, and I KNOW Volkswagens have to be pampered to last, but I cannot get past how beautiful the TT looks driving down the road. Also, as a general rule I don't like primary colors on cars, but even those look gorgeous on this little beauty.
2. Porsche 911
Yes. I know Alice Cullen has one. That's actually when I started looking them up. Why did I have to look them up? Because the only Porsches I get to see on any sort of regular basis are Boxsters and the occasional Carrera or Cayenne (although I did see a Porsche sedan once - my mind was BLOWN. It was weird). ANYWAY, this is a pretty little car, BUT it's about seventy billion dollars out of my price range, so - in the immortal words of Aerosmith - Dream on, Demi. :)
3. Acura RSX
You will NEVER convince me that this isn't the prettiest car Acura EVER made. The sad thing is, they've quit making them. The last model year on the RSX was 2006. They haven't introduced a new coupe since then, and their entry-level vehicle is now the TSX, which is a pretty car, but definitely not as sporty and beautiful as this one. The good news is that, since it's an Acura (and therefore a Honda in its metal, oil-filled heart), it'll run forever, and so there will be some around for a WHILE now. I couldn't be happier about that.
4. BMW Z3
Hello, pretty-little-thing-that-would-never-make-it-up-my-parents'-driveway. TINY little car, low to the ground. It just LOOKS fun to drive. I'm sure that's a total front though, I bet it really just is NO fun at ALL. (I'm being incredibly facetious. I would LOVE to get behind the wheel of one of these little things.)
5. Mercedes SLK (R171)
These things are - apparently - wildly popular in the world of professors undergoing midlife crises. Which, really, should make it less appealing, but since I see them everywhere it kind of has the opposite effect. Also: THIS CAR SOUNDS LIKE AN AIRPLANE. One of my co-workers last year had one for a few weeks (her mom's, really) and I got to hear it every time she drove by the doors. It was FABULOUS. I love the way they sound. I asked her (jokingly, of course!) if I could drive it, and she told me that she didn't like driving it because it had too much power for her. Which, in my mind, is WHY you buy an SLK in the first place. But since it wasn't her car, I guess I can understand that.
