But small cars are zippy and make smaller targets..better for defensive driving. I can't drive anything large for fear of sideswiping every parked car I pass.

I just want my baby back! 2006 Acura RSX Type S in Nighthawk Black Pearl, and well.... since we're dreaming, with a turbo kit and cool air intake. And since we're really dreaming... can my baby come with a few friends? Like a '66 Fastback Mustang, cream colored with blue racing stripes, and a pretty little black S2K with a hard top (soft top completely removed to take off the extra weight). I've always wanted to learn how to drift.

most beautiful car ever!!!

Well I want a Sprinter Van - all decked out for dog shows, and dog tripping Must have a separate Zanotti A/C. I'd spring for a retractable side awning, I'd build in a mini stove and fridge/freezer combo. I'd build in a swing down grooming table, also a portable generator. I also want to have the income to maintain that beastie. It is expensive on maintenance.

Then I want a Volkswagon Cabriolet, for when which is rarely I don't take the dogs with me. Maybe I could remove the rear seat, then have custom built in umm could I get two crates in the back?

Although I understand that Volkswagon don't make the Cabriolet anymore

Did you gals see the pic of the Yorkie, going Paddling out on a I guess a surfboard? That is definitely going on my bucket list! Does anyone know if I could put a 120 lb beastie on the board?

Surfers here surf with their dogs all the time...they even use doggy wet suits!

I drive home a lot from Arlington, Texas to where I live and the big rigs just dominate LBJ Freeway/I-20 on that section of highway, especially after 8:00 p.m. on a Friday evening. A lot of that section of I-20 is deserted, with very little business build-up or any homes along most of it and it is the Wild, Wild West. If I were in anything smaller than my big, black, heavy truck, I would die of fright. And those guys driving those big rigs don't fool around with itty bitty cars - I see them bully them all over the place. Run up fast on those little ones and tailgate the bumper on a Friday evening until the poor driver just freaks. I am scared silly of them in my big black truck and move out of their way fast if allowed but some of the drivers don't see them coming or either try to hold their water and stand their ground or something. But to see one of those little cars that can't go very fast and with no horsepower at all being tailgated with air horn blaring by a huge rig that just slowed down from 90 mph with a juiced driver just turns my liver to jelly! One mistake and that little car and driver are an oil slick. 70 mph is the minimum running speed on I-20 and that's with a cop roadside but when the cops go, it's 90 to 110 mph and full of nothing but truckers head to tail trying to get home fast. Those truckers driving Texas highways Friday evenings on that part of I-20 are mean. They close-convoy and won't let you over - at all! That's when I love driving the hardiest vehicle I can afford!

I have a Nissan Armada and although it's not my dream car/vehicle I love it!(It's got 24" chrome rims and other custom features)

But yes...I told my hubby that I wanted an Audi too. LOL

Exactly why I prefer smaller cars! I zip through traffic always trying to put some space between me and the distracted driver who'd is either texting or on the phone.

I've even reported a drunk driver before. Those guys are scary! Almost hit me 3 times in 20 mins.

I purchased my "dream car" last year Ever since I lived in Dallas & realized that Suburbans are the minivans of choice down there, I've always wanted a Suburban. I LOVE it! It's big enough for pretty much anything. I feel a lot more safe driving my Suburban than when I drive my little BMW station wagon. Best part...I've found that drivers actually give me a little more respect on the road. I've never been cut off & it's a lot easier for me to switch lanes on a busy highway. Gotta love that Maybe it's because my windows are tinted & they can't tell that I'm a 5'1" Mommy...LOL

I get the same "respect" when driving my dad's Tundra or my brothers T-100. (old truck with a camper on it) both look huge compared to all the little cars on the road. I think people are scared of the bigger cars. *shrugging shoulders*

My two guys enjoy the nice large cargo area of what I call "The Green Hornet" (it weighs 5300 lbs)

I'm with you on this one! Downsized after driving Suburbans for 15 years to an X5 and man do I MISS that "house on wheels" as my friends call it. The sheer size made me feel very safe on the road plus it was a FlexFuel engine.

My 'everyday' dream car is an Audi A5 Convertible or an S5 Convertible. They are VERY hard to get over here in New England. There were 12 of them in the entire New England area for sale early this summer when I went to look for one. I ended up getting a BMW 328 Xi and I like it a lot, but I really wanted the Audi. The Bimmer is more affordable right now though too.

My DREAM DREAM car is a 1980-1983 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet, Plum color with a black whale tail. Been my dream car since I was 15.
