1. Do you have a car? If so, what kind of car is it?
I drive a dark red Ford Escort. It isn't much to look at and it is filthy inside and out, but she hauled all my stuff across the country when I decided to move from Northern MN to Southern CA. Everything I owned was stuffed into a UHaul trailer and the back end of that car and we made it over the mountains without any problems. She's a trooper.
2. Do you drive very often?
I hate to drive so whenever possible I get Mikey to do it. In fact, on our honeymoon he did all the driving because it costs too much to add my baby self (under 25) to the contract. I was in heaven! Usually, I drive every day to and from work, but since none of the schools in this district are more than 20 minutes from my house it's not so bad.
3. What's your dream car?
I have been lusting after a Toyota Tacoma with an extended cab lately. I like driving smallish vehicles, but I also like being above the other drivers (at least the ones in cars...can't compete with those SUV's).
4. Have you ever received a ticket?
When I was 16 I was pulled over for going about 20 over the limit. I was SO scared! And while I was working up the nerve to tell my mom I was stopped in the hall right outside her office and asked in a very loud voice "hey! was that YOU I saw pulled over last night?". I paid the ticket and drove much slower for a long time!
5. Have you ever been in an accident?
Nothing beyond the typical parking lot fender bender or land-you-in-a-snowbank slide, both caused by slippery, ice covered MN roads. My cars tend to have more accidents without me.
