I’ve always wanted to find a way to ask a few of my favorite authors over for a nice, leisurely Sunday brunch, and that became the idea for this blog.
Each week I plan to invite a couple friends to this blog so I can ask them a question. My friends will share their answers with me and you, gentle readers, can give your answer to my question in the comment section below. I’ll choose one random person from the comments and reward them with an ebook surprise, it’s that simple! Comments are moderated, so don’t despair if you’re not posted immediately!
This weeks question is:
What kind of car are you?
Readers, comment below for a chance to win an ebook! We want to know what kind of car YOU would be!
So this week, Zam wants to know what kind of car we would be if we could…what? Be a car? Not sure why I would want to be a car (not having opposable thumbs seems like it might be a deal breaker) but hey, let’s have some fun, shall we?
(And totally as an aside, the writer in me dearly wants to know why my word processor is so dumb it doesn’t think ‘opposable’ is a word when it seems to know perfectly well that Jedi should be capitalized. There are other words I use as an erotic romance writer that it also didn’t think were words, but I’ve since educated it, and it’s much better now.)
So. On to what kind of car would I be. Based on my level of nerdiness just evidenced for you all? Probably a Volvo. And not the new, sleek kind, either. Oh no. We’re talking 80’s station wagon…beige.
Oh yes. That’s me. — Author Jamie Samms

No doubt about it. If I were going to be a car, I’d be a Tesla.
Electric. Gorgeous. Fast. Mindblowing. And not a tailpipe on it. (That is sooo sexy!) Not burning fossil fuel never looked so good nor went so fast.
If I’m honest, I’m really all about being sleek and efficient. After all, I spend a shitton of money on WEN to keep my flyaway hair from looking like I stuck my finger in a light socket. I could buy regular hair products but nooooo. I have to go for the stuff that’s supposed to make my hair more shiny, more sleek, more awesome. I’m not all that sure it really works as well as it says it does but sometimes my hair is all those things so I guess it sort of works! As for efficient…I do this best at the day job, but in all my creative outlets I strive for it as well although I don’t achieve it as easily. I don’t sleep much, so I work. What could be more efficient? 😉
The Tesla is more than an electric car that hauls ass. At over $70K, it’s a statement. And it’s pretty much a work of art. Completely handmade and 100% head turning as it streaks down the road. It’s the perfect melding of technology and art.
That would be me. IT geek with a need for speed meets writer and artist with a need to create hot, sexy characters who make hot, sexy love.
And no tailpipe. (Did I mention how sexy that is?) It’s like the HEA at the end of every book I write. A statement of who I am and what I believe in. Hot sex. Endless love. That’s a Lex book in a nutshell…and that’s Lex, the Tesla of erotic romance! — Author Lex Valentine

If I was a car? I’d definitely be a Porsche Boxster.
Fast, with power in reserve, and only room for two when I want to be left alone. I travel light. I will be silver, stealthy. And you’ll only see me with the top down at night under the stars and moon. But then only for a second, and you’ll wonder as you see my taillights disappear in the distance, was she wearing any clothes?
I DRIVE the car I am. It’s super sparkly metallic, Tardis Blue, holds a LOT of junk, and goes both ways, (electric and gasoline — for the sake of the economy of course.)
The best part? If you see me zipping around the streets of my suburban Southern California neighborhood in it, you’ll notice the license plate says ZAMTSTK!
I’d have to be a jeep – the new longer ones. And I’d need both the soft top and the hard top.
The jeep because it is practical and has enough room to haul stuff around, help friends move, etc. and with the top and door off, it can also be fun! It hits both sides of my personality!
Oh wow. I’m definitely a truck person, and always have been. Living in the Pacific Northwest my entire life with the exception of Hilo Hawaii for 8 months, so the need for a truck has been a priority when you are driving in the mountains, and exploring the old logging roads when we go 4 wheeling. I love the Dodge Power Wagon that got me through hard winters, and driving on 4-6 inches of ice layered highways in the farthest northern roads in Alaska. Now those are challenges that gets a driver to pay attention and not assume that every driver has mastered a 4 wheel drive yet….lol. Who says women can’t be just as adventurous as the guys? Besides..being a short person I love the expression on peoples faces when they see my little 5 foot 1 inch self get out of my truck… 🙂
Thank you for the giveaway…..and I think I’ve added all of your wonderful favorite cars to my list of what I would have if I got a second car…. 🙂
If I was a car, I would be a Mazda RX8. Shiny, royal blue. Sassy, fast and heavy on fuel. Lol
