If money was no object what would be your vehicle of choice?
Most people I know will most likely go for a Super sports car like a McLaren F1 or something of that nature, but I would rather much have something that is lighter on the gasoline. The McLaren F1 gives you 6 to 7 miles per gallon as stated in a car show that I watched yesterday. That’s insane, but the car is also insanely fast with 667 hp. The McLaren F1 also cost a cool million dollars, its basically a Formula 1 race car with a body on it, made for the streets, but very impractical for the streets as the car show pointed out.
I would rather go for something like the new Tesla electric car over the McLaren F1. The new Tesla is all electric, so no gasoline or pollution to worry about. Being an pro-environmental kind of person this really appeals to me and the car is fast to boot. The Tesla electric sports car also has superb torque, on the Tesla website they claim that you cannot sit or push forward during full acceleration, basically you are pinned back by the torque so just sit back, foot on acceleration pedal and hang on. The engine produces 248hp (185kW), which propels the car 0-60mph in 4 seconds, and gives you 250 range on 3.5 hours of full battery charge. The cost for all this $250,000. All I can say is sweeeeet. Check out all the media coverage on the Tesla electric sports car.
I’ve been a motorcyclist since I was 16 years of age, so naturally I would also want a nice superbike. In this category I would choose the new Ducati 1098, after 18 years of riding a sportbike…uhm I think I am ready for a Ducati 1098. This super sportbike weighs 381 lbs and puts out 160hp….I’m drooling already 
That is 60hp more than the most powerful sportbike that I’ve ever owned and I know this bike would be a thrill to ride both on the streets and on the track. At last check the Ducati 1098 cost somewhere in the range of $30,000 to $40,000.
Post your comment on what would be your vehicle of choice if money was not an issue. It doesn’t hurt to dream a little sometimes.
