Dream Cars






..................................So, I decided to put up a list of my dream cars. The Lotus is at the top of my list. I know that I will own at least one of these one day, but not all. It would be awesome to own them all. I think the one that I will end up with is the pickup. Mostly because I have the support of my wife on that one. She sees a practical side to it. I went to a dealership in Jacksonville, Fl right when this truck was released. The dealership had one showroom model and that was it. I have been in love with them ever since.




None of the others vehicles I like have any practical sides at all. Next in line is the GT-R. This car has been one of my favorites in racing games for years. Nissan finally made a real one and then made it available for us to buy here in the USA. Bringing up the bottom is the 370Z. I have only recently fallen for these cars as I own a Z31. There are many, many other cars out there that I am most certain would whet my appetite, but this is my top list.
....................................So, just a little history. I have loved the Lotus since I was a kid. I remember watching an engineering show, learning about how fast the Lotus would go and how it was made. I have watched the generations of Lotuses (or is it Loti) over the years. The model priced and shown here is my favorite. I know it is not American Muscle. It would actually leave almost everything that qualifies as American Muscle in the dust. This baby only has a 4 cylinder engine but can hit over a hundred miles per hour before the best American Muscle can hit 60 mph.








I love my Z. I like all Z's. I am not really a fan of the Z's of the 90's. In my opinion, the older the better. That kinda changed with the release of the 370Z. This car is beefy, cool and super fast. I am not sure how other car companies sell cars. Nissan makes several lines of cars that will cause other cars to stop and cry, but the other car companies manage to sell their cars for 2, 3, and sometimes even 5 times what the Z sells for. And Z's last longer.





The GT-R is just flat out AWESOME!!!! This car makes me drool just thinking about it. This car is a video game concept come to life. I read that it has been available oversea for several years now, but was just now made available over here.
