I haven't added to my car collection in a while.
This vintage SL would do just fine.

My dream…
… mode of transportation.
That zippy Vespa has been on my mind. Once upon a time, in San Francisco, I really wanted a Vespa. I thought nothing would be cooler than cruising up the hills of North Beach and cutting through the fog in Golden Gate Park than a Beat chick on Italian wheels.
I still love scooters but no longer have the fantasy. And as much as I love vintage autos, the thought of owning a car again does not appeal (unless it was this collection - then I think I could deal). I think my dream mode of transportation would be:
a) A driver-on-call for getting around town at night, when I’m running late for work, and to and from the airport
b) Money to fly first or business class between New York and Paris (and beyond, bien sur)
c) A tricked out bicycle, complete with bell, helmet, safety laws and other bicyclists in the city who would make riding more the norm
Et toi?

Mercedes girl
When I was little I wanted a charcoal gray 450SL. This cherry red 500, parked in the Marais, would do just fine, too.

Keys, please!
My, oh my. I’m going to have to get a garage with multiple bays in order to accommodate my growing car collection.

I saw this beauty in Saint-Germain last night and think it would be just the little roadster for jaunts up to Deauville.

Vroom
It’s no pink Mercedes, but I wouldn’t mind putting the top down and taking this baby out for a drive.

I want! I want!
Oh la la.

I saw this stunning pink Mercedes parked near work and all I could think was, that's the perfect car pour moi!
