  • Can you drive a stick shift? Yes it is what my car is right now. I'm lazy so I now prefer automatic...lol

    What color is your car? Black...so regret it in the country. No matter what I do it is always dirty!

    Anniversary
  • Can you drive a stick shift? Barely. I learned to get it into 2nd gear and got freaked out by that alone haha.

    What color is your car? light blue

    Do you prefer leather or cloth interior? cloth

    Favorite car manufacturer (Ford, Toyota, etc) Toyota and subaru

    Dream car/truck? Toyota Rav4 - which is what I own :)

    Car accident? I haven't had an accidents with other people. Just 3 single car accidents, only 1 of which was my fault -

    1. I hit a median in a stupid parking garage in philly. Had to get insurance involved for this.

    2. DH backed my car into another car, minor damage, we just fixed it paying out of pocket since it was just the wheel guard that was scraped.

    3. Some ***hole hit my car when he was pulling out of a parking spot (with the front of his car) and scraped up my bumper. It was a hit and run so of course I couldn't find them. I just paid out of pocket to get it fixed. This still pisses me off because it happened within a year of owning my car and it happened the day before christmas!

  • Can you drive a stick shift? yeah, barely... but it's been years

    What color is your car? mine is silver, the truck is dark blue, his car is royal blue and the project will be metallic orange

    Do you prefer leather or cloth interior?i like the leather (it's heated!)

    Favorite car manufacturer (Ford, Toyota, etc) GM...everything we own is GM

    Dream car/truck? kinda digging the GMC Acadia right now

    Car accident? A couple.

    -- I hit a parked car as I was pulling into a parking spot one time. Totally my fault. I felt so bad!

    -- The other one I got rear-ended by a huge truck. It barely crunched the trunk lid, but the guy admitted right off the bat that he didn't have insurance. We called a friend (who is a state trooper) and he told us since the other guy said that, don't believe anything else he says. Brad decided to be a d!ck and make the guy pay out of pocket for the repairs at the dealer. It ended up costing him almost $1400 to fix my car. But technically since the damage was over $500, we should have filed a police report. That would have cost the guy a lot more in the end!

  • What color is your car? mine is silver, the truck is dark blue, his car is royal blue and the project will be metallic orange

    Ooooh what is the project car?

  • Can you drive a stick shift? I know the mechanics of it and have done it before, but I am definitely not comfortable with it, which sucks because DH's car is a stick.

    What color is your car? Mine is silver and DH's is yellow. He also has a fixer-uper in our garage that is an orangish-red.

    Do you prefer leather or cloth interior? Cloth (leather gets to hot in the summer)

    Favorite car manufacturer (Ford, Toyota, etc) Honda (I love my 13 yr old CR-V)

    Dream car/truck? I'm boring, I just want another brand new Honda CR-V.

    Car accident? I haven't had an accident (that was my fault since I was 17) and that one was when I was getting off work after midnight and backed into another employee's big truck (my fender is still dented, but there was no damage to the truck). I was rear-ended a couple of years ago right after my car got out of the shop from having the door fixed after one of my sister's neighbors backed into it while it was parked on the street.

    Seventh Anniversary 5000 Comments 500 Love Its Name Dropper

    Can you drive a stick shift?  Not a chance

    What color is your car?  A light blue with silver hints, it's so pretty.

    Do you prefer leather or cloth interior?  I think leather...this is the first car I've had with leather interior and although it sucks when my thighs get stuck to it in the heat I love how easy it is to clean, I never have to worry about spilling something on it bc everything comes right off. 

    Favorite car manufacturer (Ford, Toyota, etc):  My first car was a Ford, the second was a Honda, and now I'm back to Ford...so I suppose Ford?  Although I trust Honda's the most.

    Dream car/truck? I don't really have one...my current car, Ford Escape, is pretty much the kind of car I've always wanted plus it's pretty tricked out with automatic everything, leather interior, 6 disc cd changer, etc.

    Car accident? Just one in May of 2010 and that's when I totaled my Honda Civic.  It was raining and I was going like 65mph and the car in front of me cut me off, so I went to hit my breaks (which were crap) and totally slide into the guardrail on my right side.  I hit it so hard that it bounced me back into traffic, across all 3 lanes on a major highway, and I slammed into a big 4 door pick up truck.  My drivers side door flew open right when I hit the truck, it was crazy.  I also didn't have my seatbelt on which was stupid but I was only 3 miles from home and just didn't bother (I always wear my seat belt now though!).  Luckily no one got hurt other than being really sore and a few bruises on my back and shoulder and my insurance covered everything.  I am really pretty lucky to be alive and so thankful that the cars coming towards me on the highway were far enough back that they were able to stop bc if one of them would have hit me as I flew across all lanes of traffic, I'm pretty sure that would have been the end of me.  Oh yeah, and the guy that cut me off never even stopped.

    Car accident?a few

    in college-hit a snow bank because my balding tires didn't grip on a turn-the real downer I was on my way to my uncle's to replace my tires

    about 6 years ago got hit in the front end by my cousin's car pool which was pulling out of a blind spot

    about 4 1/2 years ago coming up a hill in snow and realized at the top that the other side was more snow covered and tapped the brakes...lost control swerving all over getting closer and closer to a guard rail blocking a 20 foot drop into a creek and hit a culvert on the other side and rolled at least 2 times. Needless to say that car was totaled!

    about 4 years ago (just about to go off my driving record) rearended a car in town because I didn't see the car in front of them stop...

    I also had a couple animals run out in front of me and was rear-ended a couple times

  • Can you drive a stick shift? Yes.

    What color is your car? Gray.

    Do you prefer leather or cloth interior? Cloth.

    Favorite car manufacturer (Ford, Toyota, etc) I don't know.  I've driven a few Mazdas in my younger years, and I currently own a Chevy Impala that I really like.  Felix has a Ford F150.

    Dream car/truck? I don't think I have a dream car or truck anymore.  It would be cool to have a helicopter, though (which would definitely be in my dreams). Stick out tongue

    Car accident? Four, but the last one was in August of 1999.  Thankfully, in all of them I was the only person in my car.  The worst one was Aug. 8, 1995, when a woman ran a red light and hit me on my side of the car.  My car spun and hit another car (driven by an off-duty police officer, actually) and spun a little more.  I ended up being medi-flighted to the hospital, where I spent a week in ICU (during which I had surgery to put a rod in my left calf and 2 screws in my left ankle) and another week in the orthopaedic unit working with a physical therapist and doing horrid breathing treatments.  I had about 4 or 5 months of recovery at home, though.  I'm thankful to be alive and walking with no mental trauma, because the police first thought I was dead when they arrived at the scene.  I don't remember the accident at all.
