My answers:
1) What is your favorite mode of transportation?
I most prefer riding in a car that is driven by someone else (someone I trust). I'm terrified of flying, get seasick pretty easily, and I do drive, but I don't like to (esp in an unfamiliar area).

2) What was your first vehicle?
A white 1987 Volvo 240 sedan with blue interior. My whole family had driven only white Volvos for about 20 years. After I wrecked that one (oops), I got a navy blue 1989 Volvo 240 sedan which I loved - unfortunately it couldn't hold up to KS heat (and didn't fit 3 car seats) so we had to sell it.

3) What is your primary means of transportation now?
A silver Honda Odyssey minivan. Pretty much the exact same car that every other mom in my town drives. It's a huge pain to figure out which in the sea of Odysseys in any given parking-lot is mine, but I really do love the car.

4) What is your craziest vehicle story?
With this car - my husband hit a cow! He was driving in the country late at night, and someone's black cow had gotten loose and was sticking its head out into the road. He didn't see it coming. Fortunately, the cow was fine. Unfortunately, the whole front of our car was smashed in (we hadn't even owned it a year). Thank goodness for insurance and a good body shop!

5) What is your dream vehicle?
I'm actually a little obsessed with this car, which is probably ridiculous because it's not practical at all (or probably even comfy). Otherwise, I'm really digging my van right now. It's not 'cool' but it's comfy and convenient which is super important to a busy mom like me :)

6) Road trip! What's the best place your vehicle has ever taken you?
To visit friends and family. Those are my absolute favorite trips.

7) What is the longest trip you have made?
Ever? Flying to Australia. Took 30+ hours of planes/airports each way. Totally worth it, but 4 days of flying for 4 days of visiting was exhausting. By car, in 11th grade my family took a 5 week road-trip making a loop around the entire country to visit historical sites (and check out potential colleges). That was fun, but exhausting.

Hmm - I'd have to do the math to know for sure, but either my parents or my husband. Have made some major trips with both of them :)
I linked up! Thanks for hosting. My funniest story involves a cow, actually a whole herd of cows.
ReplyDeleteWhat I great idea, why did I not notice this earlier? No matter, I will join in the fun now!
