Aug. 9th, 2002 07:39 am1. Do you have a car? If so, what kind of car is it?
Nope. I sold Juno, my 98 Saturn sedan, back in April
2. Do you drive very often?
About once or twice a month. (Heh. Flexcar. Love it.)
3. What's your dream car?
I have several. For sheer hotness, a black Prowler. For the Cool factor, an old Carmen Ghia convertible. My choice for best personal road trip car would be the Subaru Legacy - I was in snowy states long enough to appreciate the utility of four-wheel drive.
4. Have you ever received a ticket?
Several. Mostly for speeding. Once for expired tags on my car, but the cop didn't file the ticket, so I didn't have to pay it.
The first time I got pulled over, I was doing 30 in a 15 zone (Nevada has slower school zones than Cali) and the cop pulled me over right in front of my high school. My brother, the traitor, hopped out of the car and crossed the street, waving blithely, and the cop let me off with a warning, assuming (correctly) that the humiliation would be worse than the ticket.
5. Have you ever been in an accident?
Yep. A few Februarys ago, I was heading to work. It was snowing, and about 6:30 in the morning. There was one steep hill near our house, and one of our neighbors, helpful soul that he was, had been snowblowing his driveway, and went out into the street a fair way to do that part. He was right in the middle of the road. I stopped (remember this is a steep hill?) and once my forward momentum was killed, gravity (the bitch) took over, and I rolled backward down the hill, off the curve, and into a tree.
I took one look at the mess, walked home, and took Mom's Jeep into work instead.
