The Dream Car…
Back in January, when the parental units were visiting, we went up to Imperial Palace to the Auto Collections. Le Sigh. I found the perfect car…
'62 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster
A two-seat Date Night car…
With my perfect license plate…
Is this me or what?
Laugh all you want, That Man did. He says the new leather sofa has more play room. He may have a point 😉
The Specifics
I really want this beauty. Maybe I can take up a collection 😀
That Man just doesn’t appreciate a sweet ride. If it gets him from point A to point B he’s a happy camper.
Am I alone? Any other car enthusiasts out there?
The Date Night…
We finally had one! Gasp and shock. January is That Man’s busiest month of the year. The “don’t know if you’re coming or going” kind of busy.
If you’re here in Vegas, I highly recommend Bootlegger Bistro on the south end of the Strip. It is the only restaurant worthy of braving the Strip on a Friday night!

Now that is one HOT ride girl! I am no car enthusiast – I don’t know one from the other but I will say, I like what I like and I like a hot ride. I told hubby for my 40th (or anytime between my 40th and my 50th), I want a hot BLACK car that’s got enough heat under the hoot to pick the front end off the ground when I plant my foot to the pedal. I want the rumble of the idle to make me giggle. I want sexy and powerful to be the first two words I think of when I see it.
I like a HOT RIDE girl and THAT is one HOT ride!!! I can appreciate that…
FAB date night….WOOT WOOT! Here’s to a million more!
I LOVE muscle cars from the 60’s. Always have. And you are SO right, SEXY and POWERFUL have to be the first words I think of when I see a car. That Roadster…hell yeah 😀
Thanks for swinging on by Natalie!
Nice! I’m not a car enthusiast, but I appreciate them (I was born and raised in the Detroit area, after all). And that is a nice car you’ve posted here :).
Congrats on your date night!!
Not practical with the wee beasties but for a Date Night…oh yeah 😆
Thanks for stopping by Erin!
You have very expensive tastes, my friend. Good taste–but expensive. lol.
LOL, champagne taste on a beer budget, yep that’s me 😀
Thanks for stopping by Maria!
My husband is a huge car enthusiast. When we were young(er), he had a 1971 Chevelle SS…needless to say, I skipped many o’ college lectures when he came home for leave…ahem.
February saw my husband and I go on a ‘date-night’, too! Our anniversary was on the 7th, so we went out for lunch – while the boys were in school. Delish! I’d have indulged in margaritas…but it was too ^%$&N cold outside. Ha! Instead, I opted for the hot tea..Wooo-wee! Big-time for me…;}
Happy belated Anniversary Nadja! Lunch dates can be the best 🙂
Thanks for swinging on by!
Now Raelyn, I’m not sure what kind of collection it would be, but that beauty would take some miraculous money gathering. It is nice though. I wonder how it would perform on the open road?
I’m guessing VERY SWEETLY 😀 Actually, a serious buyer was there at the time, it purred in a low jungle cat way. :shiver:
Thanks for swinging on by Angela!
Nice ride! We have an ’03 Mustang Mach 1 in the garage. Thanks for the restaurant tip. We’ll have to check it out when we’re there this summer! Glad you enjoyed your date night.
A Mach 1, oh, you lucky duck! Still, my favorites are the 60’s era 🙂 You will so have to drop me an email about when you’ll be here, maybe we can get together for lunch or something!
Thanks for stopping by Melanie!
My husband desperately wants a Camero, but the one he wants is a newer model. Glad you got a date night 🙂
The older ones are made of metal 🙂
Thanks for swinging on by Marcy!
Happy (slightly belated) Valentine’s Day to you, too!
I also love pretty cars, but I can’t justify even considering spending that much money on them…
LOL…did you miss the DREAM part of the title?
Thanks for stopping by Nicole 🙂
Cars used to really have class back then–so much better than the boxes of today. That’s the kind of car that just puts you in the mood, before the engine even sounds. Unfortunately, the price tag is a bit out of my range. Have to wait for it to go on sale!
Definitely Julie, definitely 😀
Thanks for swinging by!
