It's time to sing "Happy Birthday" to Miranda Cosgrove.

The iCarly star turns 18 on Saturday. So how's she planning on marking the milestone? Read to find out what she just told us...

"I'm excited," Cosgrove told E! News yesterday during a pre-birthday celebration on the set of her hit Nickelodeon show. "I get to vote. And I can drive. I could already do that when I was 16 but I'm going to actually do it now."

So what kind of ride is she looking for?

"I wanted a Volkswagen bug for a long time," she says. "Jerry [Trainor], who plays Spencer on iCarly, actually has this really cute little BMW. So I was thinking about maybe something like that. I'm more into like color than like the type of car and stuff. I don't know much about cars so I'm just more into picking the right color."

And cars aren't the only kind wheels she has her young heart set on.

"This is going to sound really lame, but I really like bike riding," she smiled. "I tandem bike ride a lot with my friend so I would like a new tandem bike. That would be awesome."
