I’ll start. It’s the 911 Dakar. I’ve always been a massive fan of the Safari models. But being this off-road capable is insane, and not to mention that it might be one of the best daily driven cars ever made. I always loved big boxy SUVs for daily driving, but this seems to combine my 2 favorite things.

    Giulia Quadrifoglio. Saw it announced, immediately fell in love, but it was bittersweet because I knew Alfa wasn’t in the USA, then, by the time I finished the article and saw that it’s the car that Alfa was using to return to the US, it was my dream car.

    I tried to stay realistic, kept my SHO, dreamt of a Stinger because that was the coolest looking replacement for my Taurus but then my wife got elected, and was still driving a green Kia Soul. I told her she needs a car that reflects her title, so I got her car detailed, and, sent her off to get an estimate on a trade in. Two hours later, I get a text. All caps. “I JUST BOUGHT A STINGER!!!”. I hadn’t even mentioned that car to her! She stole my realistic dream car! Maybe we can be a two Stinger household? Yeah! That’ll work… The QV just cost too much for my current lifestyle. I don’t even consider it. It stays a dream.

    A year later, major life changes happen, I’m looking at buying a new Stinger GT outright (in pearl, hers is Black metallic, thought the contrast would look great out front), and just because it’s such a massive purchase, I do my due diligence. Go to Autotrader and other websites, search for sedans with V6 or greater, rear drive, under 50k. A local dealer is selling a red QV for 49k! Wait, what?!? (Ps: that’s my SHO on the right) That car turned out to be a lemon buyback 2017, so I passed, but the fire was lit.

    A month of test drives and research later, it happens. I got my dream car. The contrast of color didn’t happen, lol. Oh well.

      Have you seen the Guiluia GTAm? Not that I could afford it but I wish it was available here in the US. Its so killer looking. By far the best luxury sports sedan I’ve seen in a long time.

      I’ve driven the Alfa on many Driving events and pushed pretty hard in and out of Canyon roads in California on said events. I did, and Giulia Quad back to back against a Huracan rear wheel drive spider and I couldn’t believe how good the Giulia does when pushed hard
