Who Doesn’t Want to Ride (in a) Sofia?

Heather — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 22:16:32 +0000

What is one of the curviest, sleekest, hottest things to ever come out of Italy?

Sophia Loren, am I right?

Well, it is partly in homage to that beautifully aging siren of the stage and screen that Turin based automaker IDEA unveils the Sofia concept.

If the IDEA manufacturer seems at all familiar to you, by the way, you might remember them from their famed ERA concept.

The Sofia will definitely be giving that a run for its money.

Quoted as being completely Italian, so defined by its overall look, its entire shape, its feeling of elegance, and, of course, its name.

The Luxurious Bertone Pandion Concept

Did you ever come across a car that just made you want to melt all over yourself as soon as you caught your first glimpse of it? Did you ever see a car and you just knew that if you got the opportunity to even just sit in the driver’s seat, you would become a puddle of goo as soon as you put the key in the ignition?

Well, I invite you to take a look at the Bertone Pandion concept. Do you need a moment? So do I. Take all the time you need; I will be waiting for you in the next paragraph.

Ready? Okay. I’m not sure I even need to say anything about this vehicle. What you are seeing is one of the very first pictures available of the Pandion concept by Stile Bertone.

What Cars Do You Dream About?

Heather — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 22:58:08 +0000

Dreams are fiercely individual. One person’s dream might be another person’s nightmare. By the same token, typically no one has the exact same dream car. Some people, for instance, dream of trucks rather than cars. Some think there is nothing better than a four wheel drive with jacked up tires.

For some, a dream car consists of something from the bygone days, a fully restored GTO or Malibu or something like that.

Others want something fast. They want four on the floor, something sleek and sexy and speedy.

Still others just want luxury. Jags, BMWs, Porsches, Mercedes’, you name it.

So what is your dream car? What do you wish you could have more than anything? Or do you already have your dream car? How does it feel to have that dream fulfilled?

Get Out of My Dreams and into My SR1

Heather — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 22:36:13 +0000

I have to tell you, I love European cars. More often than not, my dream car changes from month to month, but it typically always comes back to something European. For instance, my favorite brand ever is and always will be Jaguar.

But I also have to tell you, just lately, Peugeot comes in as a very, very close second. They have been coming up with some real beauties lately, and it looks like 2010 is going to be Peugeot’s year.

I mean, just take a look at this concept. This is one of the early, hush hush renderings of the SR1 concept, which will not be officially revealed until the Geneva motor show that takes place early next year.

Just looking at this hot ride makes me want to hop the pond tomorrow, you know what I mean?

If you are like me – you are probably wondering how to justify spending all of that money on the Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV … right? Well, I am here to be your guide on the pricing of the Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV and while it might seem like $1.5 million dollars for a car is hard to swallow, think about it.

The Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV is a brand new car that is one-of-a-kind and it is a car that many, many people will never have and never be able to afford. If you have that kind of money – I can promise that you will want to place it into the Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV.

Not only will it be a status thing, but I can tell you that you will get so many looks and feel so cool driving around in a car like this!

To the Galaxie and Beyond!

Heather — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 18:36:24 +0000

Yep, we are indeed featuring another Ford, this time from 1963 — it is the 1963 Ford Galaxie, to be exact.

When you take the time to fix up a car like this, you really have a work of art and a true dream car.

A ride in this car will take you to dream car heaven as well, in addition to evoking a time which was more exciting and fun not in spite of its innocence, but rather because of it.

A car like this makes you hear Beach Boys songs in your head, no matter your proximity to the California sun and its warm, sandy beaches.

You will feel on the top of the world when you are behind the wheel, which is no doubt why the 1963 Ford Galaxie remains a dream car for so many people.

Rumble on the Rumble Seat

Heather — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 18:31:37 +0000

Ah, 1932. It would be safe to say that, back then, most people were Ford fans. Well, you know, they kind of had to be — but heck, seeing the Fords they had back then today, I am a fan by choice.

For many, this 1932 Ford Coupe is the one and only dream car. It is certainly evocative of bygone times. One could almost imagine rumbling off to rob a bank or some exciting thing — goodness knows there was a lot of exciting trouble you could get into back in the 1930s.

Of course, these days, a little innovations and changes might be in order, at least on the inside. You could do like one Coupe owner and get the car up to today’s hot rodding standards, with a Corvette transmission and a GM drive train.

The Hennessey Venom GT — This Is How I Want To Ride!

Heather — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 16:34:55 +0000

When I think of my dream car – this is it. The Hennessey Venom GT is exactly what it looks like. While I did not think that I could envision a car as cool as the Hennessey Venom GT, I did and it is dubbed as my dream car. The Hennessey Venom GT is the car that everyone wants and probably no one will be able to afford – while it is not officially out or even around yet, this car is supposed to make its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March, 2010.

Since the initial press release though, there have been some spec changes on the Hennessey Venom GT. They have dropped the weight down from 2,700 to 2,400 and the engine is now a Hennessey V8 rather than just a twin-turbo, as previous discussed.

Want to know the top speed for the Hennessey Venom GT? Oh, it is topping out at about 272mph, which is amazing!
