A recent post by the marvelous Molly<\/a> got me to thinking. What is my favorite automobile? You know, the one that makes my head turn when it drives by and my heart beat a little bit faster. <\/p>\n

So, I’m imagining I just won a prize labeled “Free automobile of my choice<\/strong>“. What would I choose?<\/p>\n

While there are many cars that make me go “Mmmmmmmm”, my first love was Porsche. I grew up in the backseat of a Ruby Red 356 Cabriolet. I swear it is why I’m only 5’4″. Every family vacation was spent at sport car events from Porsche Parades to Road Rallys to Sports Car Club of America Race Weekends. To this day, there is nothing quite as sweet as the sound of a well tuned engine to my ears. But I digress. The question at hand, what would I choose as my “free auto”?<\/p>\n

\nToday – Porsche Boxster S – silver<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nWhen I was 10 – Porsche 911 Turbo – red<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, lest you think I’m just a material girl…I’m not sure I’d ever feel comfortable driving a vehicle that cost that much money. But reality and “free cars” seem an unlikely pair.<\/p>\n

Dare I start a photo meme? Why…yes, I dare. <\/p>\n

Tap. Tap. Tap. What would you choose as your free auto (assuming you can’t convert this offer to cash to donate to a more worthy cause)? Post to your blog or flickr.

\nLadies and gentleman, start your engines!<\/strong><\/p>\n
