Dodge Viper
This car makes me feel fast, and classy because of the black and white. If I had this car I think I would be invisible, going from lane to lane, cutting others off and not making a single scratch on my car.
I went onto Google and found my ideal dream car, which for me is the Dodge Viper! I saved my image onto my computer and uploaded in into Flickr. Here is the site from where my photo is from.
For my 3rd Visual Assignment, the assignment that I’m choosing to go with, Car Lust, is to find a picture of my dream car and write a blog about it. First off, here is my dream car!
This would be the Lexus IS 350. I’ve always loved the way it looks and really want it when I graduate as a present to myself. Surprisingly, the car really isn’t that expensive. I found the picture here.
I’ve always thought that this car just looks beautiful. It’s one of those cars where I would never alter anything about it to make it look any better. Lexus did a really good job with this model. It’s both sporty and family if I want it to be. My girlfriend has a baby, so I guess I better start thinking about that when I get my next car. Definitely going to have something that has four doors and luckily this does! I would say that I would be extremely happy if I owned this car one day. I definitely don’t want my car to die, but if it does, this is going to be the next car that I get.
I absolutely adore this car. Over the past year, I have developed an obsession with cars that sit aggressively low to the ground; otherwise known as “stance”, where the wheels and tires fit snuggly underneath the fender, with decent spacing and slightly negative camber. Call me crazy, but it gives me a feeling of being whole; as if I just finished a delectable meal, and can now sit back and revel over how good it tasted. The car pictured above; a Volkswagen Golf mkii owned by Jamie McToldridge, sports BBS E50 wheels custom built by Rotiform using pre-1978 centres and mounted to motorsport barrels is. This particular automobile is definitely on my list to own at some point in my life; and the combination of wheels, color, and suspension, makes it one of my personal favorites.

For my Third ds106 Assignment I did the “Car Lust“.
The Instructions given was “So I wanted to submit a new visual assignment. All of us, most of us anyways, have a dream car. This is a simple assignment. Take a picture, or find a picture on the web of a car that you love. Then, write a description of how that car make you feel. That’s it. Short and simple. This combines the visual of a car, with the story telling aspect, of how an object make you feel.”
Process – Well I found my dream car picture online and then posted here.
Story – I personally always liked designs of Audi’s and this car when i look at it makes me want to succeed. This would be a dream car and not many people can afford it. It gives me energy to try and move forward with my life and try to succeed to a point where i can afford this car.
So, this is my first DS106 assignment for this segment of the class. The instructions, in simple, is to find a picture of your favorite car and explain why. I have seen a few people do this in the past couple of days, and being the car buff that I am, I couldn’t resist.
This is my dream car! THE ONE AND ONLY DACIA SANDERO! Actually i’m just kidding. If you are a fan of Top Gear, then you will understand why I did this, otherwise you will be lost. Give me a shoutout in the comments if you are a Top Gear Fan! In all seriousness, deciding on a favorite car was very difficult. There’s so many that I want. If I were rich, I honestly think that my garage of cars would be so much larger than the house itself. But I think this would definitely be top on my list.
I know… WOAH! LIKE DUDE, NOT A FERRARI OR LAMBO… WHAT IS YO PROBLEM?!?!?!?!?!? It’s called an Alpina B3 S Biturbo Coupe Switch-Tronic. For those of you saying, “That’s a BMW. Are you on drugs?” Yes, it was originally a BMW, in fact not even the top of the line M model. It’s just a basic 3 series right? Again, wrong. This bad boy has a 3 litre In Line 6 twin turbo charged engine. All this produces around 400 HP. The most astonishing thing to me is, this thing handles better than a M3. I don’t how much you guys know about cars, but the M3 is constantly acclaimed as one of the best handling production cars. BMW has been known for it. My father owns an E46 M3 and i’ve gotten the opportunity to drive it hard on a track before. Let me tell you, it handles like a dream. You can get a really good slip and angle in corners and the car is extremely forgiving if you transfer too much weight too quickly or carry too much speed. This bad boy, is supposed to be better than that. How? Beats me.
So how does this car make me feel. It makes me feel LIKE A BOSS. (god, embarrassed that I said that now). But, it’s got the speed of a sports car tuned by a private tuning company, and still has the style and class that BMW has recently had. You can drive to the nurburgring in it comfortable, stay in the same car, and run a blistering lap around the nordschleife. It’s perfect. It’s not too loud and obnoxious, and it doesn’t scream I HAVE TONS OF MONEY LOOK AT ME! Like most Ferraris and Lamborghinis.
That about wraps it up. Hope you enjoyed. Shinya Out.
ps: I don’t hate Ferrari and Lamborghini. In fact I love them, they make some fantastic cars. The 458 is probably one of the all time greatest cars. It’s fast and it looks properly good. I just wouldn’t really want one.

The Car……………………
The story behind the car:
I love this car! This was my cousin brother’s old car(I can’t believe he had the heart to change it)! When I first saw it I was like how come I never knew you had this earlier!!! This was one rare instance when I was head over heels over a car!!! It’s still around home so I get to see it! I am told the model has changed but who cares ……I still adore it the same ! Every time I see it…I wish I could drive in Japan!
DS106 Visual Assignment, Visualassignment123
This car is really a dream car, I think there are less than 20 of them that exist. I heard they cost about 2 million dollars. I love this car because it is a goal of mine to someday own one. But that is a big dream, and I know it will probably never happen and I dont care. Thats it, Just a dream car… If I had 2 million dollars i wouldnt spend it on this thats for sure. I would need like a couple billion for me to think of dropping 2 million on this. But still… DREAM CAR!!!
