Dreams can come true, can't they?

As many of the people closest to me know, I love fast cars.  I have always had a weakness for beautiful cars that have the capacity give you whiplash when you press on the gas pedal.  Unfortunately, I have never had one of those cars.  I don't imagine that I ever will, either.  Actually, there is absolutely no need for me to have a Maserati Granturismo or an Aston Martin Vanquish, I just want to drive them!  I usually don't tell people how much I love cars because people automatically think that I know a ton about them.  I know enough to know what I like and why I like them, but I am definitely not a mechanic and can't tell you how cars work-that is my brother's specialty- so I avoid those conversations.

 

Before Christmas, Amanda was telling me about how her Mom wanted to send her Dad and brothers to the BMW driving school for Christmas.  I started to think that that would be the most amazing present I could get.  I have always dreamed about being a race-car driver.  After that conversation we had a few months ago, I kind of quit thinking about it until I got home from work today. I was driving home and saw Amanda on the road in the lane next to me a little ways up.  I sped up to get next to her and got really excited to be driving faster than I usually do.  In my mind I kept wishing that I was driving a car that could just knock my socks off and beat her.  So, right when I got home I googled "race car driving school".  I found some pretty awesome places.  Unfortunately, there is no way that I could ever afford any of those places right now.  It is like $3,000 a day!!!!!  But I can dream, can't I????  All of this looking tonight has made me really want to become a race-car driver when I grow up.  Hey, I haven't quite figured my life out yet, so why not?  It could be lucrative.  All I can say is that tonight I added 2 new things to my list of things I have to do before I die: 1- drive both an Aston Martin and a Maserati, and 2- take one of those race car driving courses.
