Oct. 3rd, 2003 08:28 am1. What vehicle do you drive?
I have an ancient burgundy Schwinn that I commute on when I don't bus.
I've stopped driving my grandfather's '76 baby blue Oldsmobile - he never signed the title over to my brother, and now it's uninsured and we can't register it anyway.
Dru's recently bought Turnbull - an 80's Toyota *mumble* (Corolla?) off of Kasha. It has its faults, but Dru's keeping himself busy - he got me to buy him the Chilton's Guide off Amazon, and he's fixed the window and the parking brake so far.
And when all else fails, I can take a spin in a new model Honda Civic or Civic hybrid from Flexcar.
2. How long have you had it?
I bought the bike in August? This summer, anyhow. There's the UW police bike auction next Tuesday where they sell off recovered stolen bikes for which they can't find the owners - I may replace it then. We'll see what I can find.
3. What is the coolest feature on your vehicle?
It has racks in which to put my crap whilst commuting. Heavy, but cool.
4. What is the most annoying thing about your vehicle?
It's fucking heavy. Hefting into in the rack on the front of the bus sometimes strikes me as being like championship weightlifting.
5. If money were no object, what vehicle would you be driving right now?
If money were *really* no object, I'd have a chauffeur drive me in a very spiffy classic Olds.
Given 'comfortable', I'd commute on a mint green Vespa, and do in town errands in a yellow Mini. Or a better bike, with a Mini, depending on where I lived.
