Titus O'Neil
Pro wrestler Titus O’Neil’s? Ferrari.
“As I’ve gotten older and a lot bigger, I realized I can’t fit in a Ferrari, so that dream was long smashed.”
For a new dream? Maybe a Rolls-Royce, though the oil change cost would deter him. pic.twitter.com/OBNA0aASQL— Domenica Bongiovanni (@DomenicaReports) May 29, 2022
Drew Powell

Ashley Caldwell and Justin Schoenefeld
Olympic gold medalist skier Ashley Caldwell told me her dream car was a school bus. (That’s fellow gold medalist Justin Schoenefeld, too.)
“I don’t know, I thought I could put cool things in it,” she laughed. “It’s so dorky.” pic.twitter.com/f4Srnwt0i7— Domenica Bongiovanni (@DomenicaReports) May 29, 2022
Dylan Efron
Actor and model Dylan Efron wanted a sprinter van.
“I wanted the old original VW, like retro bus-looking type thing,” he told me. pic.twitter.com/8JUAomJXeR— Domenica Bongiovanni (@DomenicaReports) May 29, 2022
Jim Cornelison
And for the man with the golden pipes, Jim Cornelison:
“Probably whatever Mario Andretti was driving,” he said.

Jordan Fisher
The 28-year-old actor and musician is best-known for his role in Broadway's "Dear Evan Hansen." Fisher is the first African American actor to play the titular role, but you might also recognize him from Disney’s “Moana” soundtrack and Netflix's "To All the Boys" film franchise.
