How about a flying horse trailer so I can tow any horse through the air with me? Eh, give me a car with OnStar, and fuck the chatty horse. ---

pfffftt - no question, the horse. When time comes for the next round of human epics, whatcha gonna wanna read about - some dude in a special car? (been done - see BTTF) or some mighty badass chick on a magic horse…and WITH a light saber? Not to mention the much better movie it would make. ---

Tell you what, I’ll pick the horse so long as her personality (Yes, I read the OP. No I don’t want a gelding), so long as her personality is roughly the same as [Ariel](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1669906.Ariel) the Unicorn’s.Surrounding myself with smartass women more intelligent than me seems to keep me out of trouble; ish. Otherwise, I’m going with a 1969 Olds Vistacruiser or maybe a 61 E Jag convertible in BR Green. Not sure where to put the blaster but out the front would be my pick.
