Friday Fives

1. What make of car do you tend to like best?

make of car? Toyota. After that, anything Jap. Kind of car? Truck. I am crazy for trucks. My last five 'cars' have been trucks, and I just ordered another one yesterday.

2. What is the most memorable thing that has happened in in your car?

I have only had this truck for about a year, so I don't have many anecdotes. I guess maybe when I drove out of a Denver blizzard back in December to get to Phoenix. We were set to fly to Phoenix for Christmas but a blizzard closed down the airport for nearly a week.

My only chance to get to Phx was to drive through the blizzard, before the next one hit five days later. Fortunately, I have the biggest truck on the planet (F250, turbo diesel powerstroke) and so put that big bastard in four wheel drive and headed out the second the Governor opened our freeways back up.

3. What word best describes your driving style: Goofy, Calm, Aggressive?

probably aggressive, which I am super not proud of. I honestly work every day to be a more calm driver, but I can't stand people who are inattentive when they are driving.

4. What kind of road would you most enjoy driving on: A deserted city road late at night or the Autobahn?

neither. A dirt road heading up and around a mountain in the mountains... with a few beers in me. The woods are my happy place.

5. What’s your general philosophy on driving?

what any good General will tell you: the best defense is a good offense.
