Dream cars

When people speak of their "dream car," they often speak of cars they will never be able to afford, such as a Porche or a Lamborghini. I like to dream of cars I have a chance of one day affording once I graduate. For instance, when I graduate and move, I would like to buy a VW Jetta or Beetle. The most expensive car I ever hope to aspire to is an Audi TT coupe. (Can you tell i have a thing for German cars?) Maybe I'll buy an Audi when I have my mid-life crisis, but I won't die with regrets if I never own one. I also love Nissan. My first car (sorta) was a late 1980's Nissan Maxima, and it was a fun little car with a plenty of jump. Hondas are fun too ^_^
I love going on car websites and building my own car. Here's what I end up with:

Can you tell I have a weakness for coupes? I also prefer my cars to be white, silver, gray, or black. The Beetle is a fun little car, so it deserves a fun color. While I love them all, so far my absolute favorite is the Nissan Altima 2.5S coupe. It has a firece look, and the gas milage is nothing to laugh at, either. Once I get my degree and start my career, it will be affordable as long as I budge responsibly.
