Light Show

So here it is, another dead Saturday night. Earlier, I went to the local IGA to get a few groceries. We’re sort of out in a less-developed area, and while driving into town, passing all the fields and meadows, I saw an incredible thing: thousands of fireflies dancing in the dark. I’m from California and I never saw a firefly until I moved here. Funny how little things can lift the spirits.

I hate posting these things. The problem is, I really like doing them. You’re the one who pays.

1. Driver’s seat or passenger seat?
Short trips around town: passenger
Long trips out-of-town: driver

2. What was the first car you owned (could have been purchased by someone else)?
A spanking new 1970 Subaru minibus.

3. What is the first car you paid for yourself?
See above. Off the lot, cash in hand, it cost me $1,100.

4. How many cars are currently housed in your place of residence? How many are still operable?
One. One.

5. If money were not a factor, what kind of car would you own?
A fully-loaded, brand new Jeep Wrangler.

6. If a police investigation was not a factor, what kind of car would you destroy any time you see it? Why?
Those pickups with the rear four-wheel axle. Especially those owned by city guys with small penises.

7. Does driving in big city traffic fill your veins with adrenaline or your pants with something a bit worse?
No, unless there are other cars on the road.

8. What is your biggest pet peeve regarding driving and/or your fellow drivers?
Lack of consideration, including loud stereos, not using turn signals, etc.

9. What’s the most expensive traffic ticket you’ve ever received (could be monetary or jailtime)?
$120 for speeding. On the interstate. With no cars in sight. In the middle of nowhere. In Kansas.

10. What is the name you’ve given to your current vehicle (be honest, everyone names their car)?
“Piece-a-Shit”

Okay. Your turn.

Great Question

The Muttering Muse has asked a thought-provoking question:
