Received this very quickly. A friend wanted this as a gift as she's a huge auto enthusiast and ordering through Amazon saved a lot of time not having to hunt for this all over town!

3.0 out of 5 stars Half "dream cars" / Half "who would ever want to own THAT?", January 15, 2010

I have been a LOYAL subscriber to Workman Page-A-Day's Dream Cars brought to you by Car & Driver since 1996. No joke, I still have the torn out pages for almost every day since then. While I've always been a little critical of their choice of cars placed each day (more so of their magazine which I don't read anymore), I enjoyed tearing off the next page every morning and seeing what today's "Car of the Day" will be. Recently, though, for 2009 they decided to throw in cars that no one really gave a spit about - every weekend had ancient cars that certainly weren't in any of MY dreams, a 1930 Cord on 1.12.09, a 1941 Cadillac "believed to have been commissioned for actress Bette Davis" on 3.3.09, then 6 days later, a 1912 Buick Model 43? Seriously, car guys don't want to see THAT stuff. While I know I can't speak for everyone, and shouldn't, I'll say that no car guy I've ever met wants something with 50HP or less in their garage unless it is a lawnmower. Some cars they chose this year had even less - like early 1900's cars with 12HP. WHY? Show me more 2004 Saleen S7's like on 1.2.09 and 94 Supra's like on 6.2.09, these are REAL Dream Cars that the masses crave!

My theory is that the same person did these since I first got mine in 96. As they got older, they thought more about cars of the past when they were young than they did these new, "hip" cars. Then they must have unfortunately passed away sometime in 2009 because there is no 2010 Page-A-Day calendar!!!! I'm stuck with Car Talk instead and don't even have the boring old 57 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser like on 8.18.09 to look at....... maybe I shouldn't have been so critical, now!
