if i were an X... i might drive a Y

on my long road trips i sometimes come up with games to keep me occupied. this weekend i drove to seattle to see my super cute niece verbena and her parents. i took a half day at work and headed up north. traffic was non stop for most of the trip. given that it was the last weekend before spring break ended-it wasn't completely shocking. while the amount of traffic was annoying, it gave me more cars to reference for a game i titled "if i were an X, i might drive a Y" 


this game was fun enough that i might try to do a weekly post about the car i would drive if i were a certain person or had a specific profession. some of these might be even more random than even i realize and some might be extremely legit. on friday i decided that a car that has always been a little creepy because it sorta looks like a hearse, could very well be my car if i were a professional surfer.

introducing the dodge magnum. i have never been in a magnum and am generally a foreign car fan but something about seeing one drive down the road going at least 80 with a surf rack and board on top made it look pretty bad ass. and some days, that is the look i am going for. not to mention the surfing part of the equation. that is pretty awesome in and of itself. 

looks pretty bad ass to me

i was inspired to see what other cars some surfers have actually chosen to get to the waves:

a true classic. perhaps one of the original choices for most surfers

electric works for some

i just really liked this photo, but i think a mini cooper is probably an option for some surfers

my personal favorite...more to come on the smart car
