What kind of car would you buy, if money were no object?

I often have this day-dreamy conversation with my husband, the ‘if we won the lotto‘ chat. We had it again, the other day, on a lazy afternoon, when I was perusing some real estate websites check out our ‘dream home’, or at least a selection of dream homes!   We found one that we really liked, and then I jokingly told one my husband that  if we won the lotto, I’d surprise him, and buy him a GPS for Christmas. Pre-programmed into the GPS would be a mystery address, which of course would lead my husband directly to our dream house, which I’d already purchased and furnished, and then in the garage he would find his dream car.

He smiled, and then asked me, “What is in the garage for you?” Meaning of course, which dream car would I choose to put there for myself.

I was-completely-stumped.

I hadn’t thought about my dream car in so long, it’s actually quite ridiculous.  Perhaps it is because I’m already happy with my car right now, even though it’s nothing particularly special. Perhaps it is because my priorities have changed since I became a parent.

Rather than a particular model of car, I have a ’set of requirements’ which I would like to have in a car, and it wouldn’t matter what brand it was, provided it met these requirements, which included things like: nice looking, fuel efficient, clean energy, zero toxic emissions, safety features for the kids, space for the dogs, space for luggage, comfortable to drive, awesome sound system etc etc.

Then I thought about it some more, and I thought I’d like to add a couple of features not ordinarily found on a suburban car! Like James Bonds car, it would be really cool if I could equip it with missiles (for blowing up those pesky taxis), or with an ejector seat for when I have unwanted passengers, or get hi-jacked, it should come equipped with an AED, in case I have my vodka martini poisoned by an money-laundering conman, during a card game in Montenegro, and I need to defibrillate myself before returning to surprise him with my resourcefulness.

Ha ha. Anyway, it was interesting to think about.  How about you? What’s your dream car?
