<< shutitdown: taking one for the anecdote

Friday Five - car talk?

1. Do you have a car? If so, what kind of car is it? I have a silver Toyota Camry. It's very boring, and I look like a soccer mom. But that's okay I guess.

2. Do you drive very often? I drive often, but not far. I haven't filled up my tank in almost 3 weeks.

3. What's your dream car? I used to have the cutest car. It was an '86 Volvo. Here's my brother in front of my baby. I love the older Volvos, like from the 50's and 60's. I'm not a car person though, so I really don't care.

4. Have you ever received a ticket? Only parking. But lots of those.

5. Have you ever been in an accident? One time when I was 16 my dad told me that if I didn't get into college by that fall he was going to put me in a foster home. So I left the house crying and got into a car accident. It was really just a little fender bender, the car ahead of me didn't even have a dent. But the police were called, and I was still crying, so it looked really bad.

And then the guy I hit claimed to have whip-lash, so it became an at fault accident with bodily injury. So my record was all screwed up. But I moved to a non-driving city (NYC) for a few years and let my record get all clean again. So now I am driving. And I love it. LOVE IT.

I think in honor of this Friday Five I am going to go get a car wash after work.

Word.

Hehe. I feel so dislocated now. I should answer the questions.
1) Yes.
2) Yes.
3) My dream would be to have a different car for every day of the week. With Monday, Tuesday, etc written on the hood.
4)I only get parking tickets, and then only in London, where all traffic wardens are former Nazis.
5) Yes.

Yep. That IS funny.
