My Dream Car

Lately my husband and I have been window shopping for what our next car would be and we were talking about our dream cars. His of course was an old 47 model T, where mine on the other hand was a 1967 Mustang Fastback. Just thinking about that car gives me feels!! I've always been a mustang girl and if I could have any car out there, without hesitation that's what it would be! Well, actually, I take that back. Although I am and always will be a mustang girl, I think if I could have any car out there, no questions asked, it would definitely be the new 2016 Volvo XC90. That car has a way with words without even saying anything! Have you guys seen it? OMG, look it up! 7 passengers, 400 horsepower, all the high tech gadgets any car enthusiast would enjoy and I could go on but I mean...you just need to see it to drool like I'm doing right now! I see myself driving it whenever I close my eyes. The beautiful thing is that I thought with all the bells and whistles it was going to beat least  an $80k starting price, but it actually starts at only $50k..so you know what I'm going to be asking God for Christmas and my birthday! Until then, I'm happy driving around my Suzi; that right I name my cars!

My very first car was a 1997 Eddie Bauer Ford Explore. I loved that car so much and had so many grand adventures in it! I named him Red, because he was really Burgundy and Beige, but what kind of name is Burgundy? No, Red was the kind of name that takes you places. Red was the type of name that would see you were having  a bad day and instead of trying to solve your problems, would just take you in his arms and tell you, I don't give a Damn, we are going on an adventure and that adventure is called life! I miss that old car, I swear if it didn't get wrecked and was falling apart I would probably still have it today. It's okay though, now I have my Suzi...she's reliable for the most part and just as adventurous! Suzi, is my 2007 Suzuki Forenza wagon, complete with racks on the top. I once had a car friend, who practically begged me to trade cars with him. At the time, he was driving a brand new Nissan 350Z coupe and he told me the Suzuki wagon was his dream car and he would totally trade me right there and then. I looked at his 3.5L engine and compared it to my 4 cylinder 2.0 and was like Nahh, no thanks, no deal, get to the back of the line! Truth be told, his car was nice, but as for me, yeah I may be sporty and spontaneous and all that good stuff, but at the end of the day I'm also very economical and I wasn't about to be paying how much in gas to be filling up the tank! Aside from that, I pretty much paid my car off in cash and was free and clear and if I took the Nissan, I would of had to pay the remaining balance on it, so no thank you, I like being debt free.

My Suzi gives me the best of both worlds, it's torque gives me the thrill of a sports car, while its electronics gives me luxury. The only downfall is that because everything in it is computerized, it kind of has glitches that need to be upgraded and rebooted every couple of years otherwise it starts acting like an old jalopy! Other than that, I wouldn't trade it in for anything in the world........unless it was a brand new Volvo XC90 or 1967 fastback!! Until next time......
