The love of cars

Most people that know me know that I love cars. I think this goes back to the days when my dad would bring home Motor Trend magazine from the office and continued on when my youngest brother was always oooing and ahhhing over every car he loved as we passed it on the road. I often have a long list of cars that I would love to own, but thankfully am wise enough to not cave in to the temptation. I love asking people what their dream car would be - or better yet, trying to guess what they drive before I see their vehicle. I even joke that I can't wait to be married just so we can have 2 cars - that way you have your suv for hauling stuff and your more compact car to zip around town...at least that's how I imagine it in my world. :)

Anyhow, all of this leads me to my "cars I would love to own" rant. One, in particular, has always been a classic favorite of mine...and yet incredibly random I'm sure. Many years ago I watched some made-for-tv movie and the main character drove this vehicle and I thought it was the most fun/classic/retro car - perfectly suited for a surfboard or skis to be mounted on top. Check out this amazing Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Isn't it a beauty?! Can you picture me behind the wheel? Sigh. I would love it - so unique and with such personality!

She's a beauty...with my name written all over it. At least I'd like to think so.

I also love the new Pathfinders, Subaru Impreza, Subaru Tribeca, Land Rover LR3, Range Rover (hahaha...my taste is getting progressively more expensive!), Mazda Cx9, Audi Q7, Acura MDX...and the list could go on and on. Honestly though, if I could have any car I wanted right now...the 20-year old Wagoneer would win hands down. Maybe someday.
