What is your dream carโ€”and what is your real-time, good-time car memory?

Sienna Beringer, 20, UCSC Astrophysics major

A Rimac Nevera, itโ€™s a really cool electric car that costs about two million dollars. When I was younger, I always loved going for a drive with my siblings, going between our parentsโ€™ houses. โ€”SIENNA


Drew Arroyo, 25, Union commercial plumber

An old VW bus that barely goes 50 uphill, to cruise around and enjoy the scenery. I love the one with a bunch of small, upper windows. Growing up, my friendโ€™s grampa had an old Mercedes station wagon with a seat way in the back facing backwards. โ€”DREW


Raychel Melville, 23, High School teacher

Iโ€™ve always liked the old, vintage Chevy Scottsdale pickup. Itโ€™s simple, nothing flashy about it. We had a horse ranch, and we would sit in the bed of our pickup while my dad would drive us around the ranch. โ€”RAYCHEL

Dave Nordgren, 69, Musician / Tax preparer

My new Prius is a dream car. I looked at it and said,โ€™Whoa,thatโ€™s like a Batmobile!โ€™ Back in the day, my girlfriend and I picked up 11 hitchhikers in my โ€˜56 Ford pickup.  I remember the flashing lights of the cop car that stopped us. โ€”DAVE


Whitney Guenther, 33, Office manager

Mustang, โ€™65 fastback. Theyโ€™re really cool cars, I love the body style. My favorite memory is driving up to Don Pedro Lake, near Modesto, to look at the stars โ€”WHITNEY


Ralph Gomez, 34, Business owner

My car would be a โ€˜63 Bel Air wagon. I used to have one that my dad gave to me. He asked for it back and sold it for like $500 or something. I always wanted that wagon. My fun memory is going to the drive-in theater. โ€”RALPH
