Friday Five

1. What vehicle do you drive?

1997 Plymouth Neon, "exactly the same color as the 'thistle' crayon in the 64 Crayola box." (They still have thistle, right?)

2. How long have you had it?

Since August 15, 1998. I finished the payments last month!

3. What is the coolest feature on your vehicle?

Cool? We must be talking about someone else's car. :-) Actually it's not on the vehicle. It's the portable MP3 player someone gave me for Christmas (thanks, Keith!) that plugs into the cassette player with the help of a car kit. I can play all those old radio shows I downloaded from the internet.

4. What is the most annoying thing about your vehicle?

It's leaked oil ever since I got it. CarMax (the extended warranty was with them) fixed it once or twice a year and I'd leave the place with them saying it was fixed and it leaked the moment I got it home. Last November they promised me they'd fix the leak before the warranty ran out. I had it there twice within two weeks. It still leaked oil the moment I got it home the second time.

5. If money were no object, what vehicle would you be driving right now?

A PT Cruiser. Not sure about the color. I've always wanted another white car I could name "Canrith" (neat name, eh? means "white phantom" in Welsh), but the PT doesn't look good in white. Maybe silver; I have this "thing" about silver cars. The dark blue and the smoky grey look best, but a dark car in the South...
