We’ve all dreamed of that ‘one car’ in our lifetime, at least I know I have. And even though we finally find the car we dream of, isn’t it fun to just wonder ‘what if’ from time to time?
What if I had the money to buy any car I wanted? Money is no object — what would your answer be?
I recently took a look at the Top 10 Most Expensive Cars in the World. Wow, the price tags were astounding but I still couldn’t help but think, ‘what if.’
