Tag Archives: dream cars

I have been blessed to drive lots of cars in my life that were a lot of fun.  When I got married and had kids, I had to drive boring cars that had back seats.  As soon as both kids could drive, I went back to my two seat roadsters.  I have some pictures here of my some of my vehicles, followed by my new dream vehicles…

At 16, this was my first “official car” in my name. An Italian 124 SuperSport Fiat Spyder with dual overhead cams. Burnt rubber in all five gears. Mine was bright yellow.

Rearview of my first car, interior same, but bright yellow paint. I put an icemaker in the glove compartment and a champagne bottle in the console with glasses for dates. It was called The Italian Stallion.

Side view of first car. Everything was in Italian, Benzino, Olio, and Kilometers per hour. It had a pull choke and accelerator and buttons that made me feel like James Bond. Unfortunately, it was very hard to keep running.

As soon as the kids could drive themselves, I got this diamond blue, champagne interior Mercedes 450 SL convertible with both hard and soft tops.

My interior was light tan, but I had all handcrafted wood. My daughter called it the hungry beast because it was too fast for her and scared her. I could hit 160 mph in it and it felt like 70. Ahh, those trips to Vegas…

Nothing like driving with the top down by the ocean. It became very expensive to maintain, so my wife and I donated it to a needy family.

The car I drive now. 0-60 in 5 seconds. They no longer make the Honda S2000 limited production racing car. It redlines at 9000 rpm. Sounds like motorcycle engine.

All are the same, except my model had the extra capacity engine seen in Fast and Furious and its sequels like Tokyo Drift. I love bright yellow convertibles with cloth tops.

Again, nothing like driving up the Pacific Coast highway with the top down and my wife next to me. No room to buy things, so you just cruise and hang out.

Steampunk version of the Shelby Cobra, the fastest production car ever made. All I can say is WOW!

I would have to test drive this to make sure the third real wheel doesn’t make it to unstable. But if it drives nice, just look at that puppy. Engine and a seat is all you need.

Steampunk interior, sweet.

A bit large for me, but built by Captain Nemo and driven by Tom Sawyer (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) I could get past the length.

Formerly used by Jabba the Hutt, it has some miles on it and damaged interior from Luke Skywalker, but I hear it is great for the desert, and I live in Arizona…
