My list of Dream Cars

Not too long ago, I listed all the completely insane (yet AWESOME) things that Uncle Sam would have to do to get me to work for him again. Of course, that won't happen but, it still made for a hilarious post.

Anyway, one of the things Uncle Sam would have had to do to get me back was to give me a new or excellent condition used sports/luxury/muscle car for every day of the leap year. I didn't put that list there because it would be too long. However, it can be its own blog post. I can't promise that I'll have a full 366 cars to put here but, it should still have plenty of nice vehicles on it, nonetheless...

I'll split up the list by manufacturer and then put them all in chronological/alphabetical order...

==================================================================

I crunched the numbers and there's only a total of 106 cars on this list here so, there's not quite enough for every day of a leap year. However, I never said this list was complete or comprehensive. Also, not a single one of these cars is allowed to be painted yellow unless I can't find a 1970 Buick GSX in Apollo White. Except for that one Buick model, I just don't like the way the color Yellow looks on cars.
