Getting To Know You Series...Transportation

Do you remember last week when I joined in with a series that encourages bloggers to connect and learn more about each other (last week's topic was about siblings).  Well, it's already time to "get to know me better" again....I love this concept! It lets people see me on a more personal level.  Plus, a chance to make new friends...yes, please!!!

Getting To Know You Series: Transportation

1) What is your favorite mode of transportation?  Since I utilize my car primarily for any type of transport...I would state it is my "favorite".  

2) What was your first vehicle?  My first vehicle was a 1984 Chevrolet Cavalier...I paid for it out of my own money.   And, it served me well, too.  I drove it through high school, college, and most of graduate school.

3) What is your primary means of transportation now? Like I said before, I definitely rely on my car for transportation.  I don't know what I would do if I didn't have a car to jump right into to take me to places/errands that I need to go.  I drive a Honda Accord.  I love that it is so dependable.  I don't worry about it due to its safety and dependability.

4) What is your craziest vehicle story?  Other than narrowly going over a cliff on the interestate due to being involved in a bad wreck...probably a crazy/funny vehicle story would center on my first car, the Chevrolet Cavalier that I drove my college years.  I lived a little over 3 hours away from the college I attended.  I was assisting with orientation at the beginning of school one year, so they wanted those of us that were going to be helping up to school even earlier.  Well, I had a specific exit that was/still is about half way between the college I attended and my home that I would use as a "stretching, rest stop, snacks, etc.".  So, I stopped as usual (my car was packed because it was the beginning of the school year) and as I was getting off of the road...something hit just the right spot so that while I was in the gas station/restaurant combo...ALL of my oil leaked out.  I was about to start my car...but, thankfully a guy ran and stopped me from doing it.  Long story short, I just happened to have a relative close to that exit that hauled my car to his house and he was a mechanic and fixed it....how did I get to school?  There also just "happened" to be representatives from my college making presentations in that city that day...so they picked me up when they were finished.  


It was terrible to break down...but, it was like divine intervention that I broke down at "just the right place" for help and "just the right time".  Any other day, the representatives wouldn't have been there...I guess you might consider that a little crazy???

5) What is your dream vehicle?  I'm not a dreamer of vehicles, believe it or not...I like one that doesn't cause problems, comfortable.  I currently drive a Honda Accord, and I am very happy with it.  It drives good, has all the features that I want/need.  Sure, there are better/more expensive cars...I just don't sit around fantasizing.

6) Road trip!  What's the best place your vehicle has ever taken you? That is a hard one...because I have enjoyed every single one of our trips in the car!  However, of all of the "road trips" in my vehicle...I guess I will have to say New Orleans simply because of our love for the architecture, culture, seeing the swamps, just the variety of stuff we were able to do on the trip.

7) What is the longest trip you have made?  I think the longest trip in the car would be from here (Nashville, TN) to Washington DC.  The longest trip overall I think would be Jackson Hole, Wyoming (where we spent our honeymoon).

8) With whom have you spent the most time in a vehicle? Since I've been married, of course I have spent the most time in a vehicle with my husband, Michael.  However, growing up...I spent many hours in a car with my mom and brother.  

My hope is that you learn a little more about me each time you read these questions and answers.  I hope that you have a great weekend.
