A Supercar is Every Mom-Reviewer’s Fantasy

Forget the Laundry and Enjoy a Sweet Escape in Your Dream Sports Car
We here at MotherProof.com aren’t just fans of minivans and crossovers. We love a good sports car, too, but we don’t get many to test drive. What if we were graced with a supercar — an ultra-hot sports car that absolutely refuses to stop at Costco? Where would we go? What would we do?
Chief Mama Kristin Varela says she’d use the car to escape from her piles of laundry, dishes and unanswered email. She’d simply drive with no destination in mind. But let’s get real; she’s more of a planner than that. So she’d carefully plan what to wear, and she’d likely consult every person she knows about where to take her hot date for a swanky night out (maybe even drive three hours from Denver to Aspen just for dessert — of the chocolate variety, no doubt). She’d want to know if there’s valet parking, a patio, and whether the bottled water is Perrier or San Pellegrino.
Mom-Reviewer Courtney Messenbaugh says she would combine date night with girls' night out so that as many folks as possible could get a glimpse of the sexy car. They would sigh as she drove away at the end of the night (hubby in tow, of course). But before her big night out, she might test the supercar by taking it to the grocery store, perusing area boutiques and hitting the open road. She’s so loyal to MotherProof.com, isn’t she?
I would take my husband out for a speedy, twisty drive in the mountains. The sun would be shining, and the sound of the engine would be the only ambience we’d require. It would be a joy for both of us work-from-homers to play a bit of hooky and enjoy the restless freedom of a hot car for a day.
We understand why car manufacturers probably don’t want to send their precious babies our way to cruise with our kids in tow. But who better to trust your babies to than moms?
What about you? What would you do with a hot sports car (and a baby sitter for the kids)? Would you hit the big city, take to the open road? We want to know.

Yeah, like Nurburgringering. Nurbringering! Nurgringer! You know what I mean.
I would hit the track and put that baby through its paces. Or a closed course through the mountains like in a commercial. Or escape to the Autobahn for a little unregulated zoominess. I mean, what’s the fun of a super-sonic sports car if you can’t really open her up?
