1. Have you ever received a speeding ticket?
Nope. Stopped plenty of times, though. .

2. What's the fastest you've ever driven?
Around 120..

3. Do you listen to music in your car?
Yup.

4. Would you rather be the driver or the passenger?
Definitely driver. I get bored easy.

5. Do your passengers like to be back-seat drivers?
My wife often tries to tell me things like "Watch out!" That's a good reason to listen to music louder.

6. What's the longest distance you've ever driven in one day?
Woodbridge, NJ to somewhere outside of Nashville, TN. That was a good 16 or so hours of wheel time.

7. Where was the first place you drove (to) when you got your license?
B&L Billiards in Edison to shoot pool with my buds..

8. Did you have any restrictions on where you can drive?
Negative.

9. What kind of car do you drive?
2001 Jeep Wrangler (TJ) and the family car, a 2002 VW Jetta wagon (That thing's actually pretty quick!).

10. What cars have you owned?
First ride was a 1981 Toyota Corolla, followed by a lethargic '82 Camaro with the craptacular 2.8 V6, followed by a '75 Camaro LT rustbucket with a hot 350, followed by a 1981 Pontiac Bonneville (What a boat!) then a 1990 Pontiac Sunbird (Had to get back and forth to work somehow) to my first new and current ride, a 2001 Jeep Wrangler. I also own the VW, an '84 K5 Blazer I'm building to be a tow rig/plow truck and of course, my '79 T/A project car.

11.What was your first car?
The '81 Corolla. That poor car is probably still running somewhere.

12. How many cars have you owned?
Nine.

13. Did you pass your learner's permit test the first time?
Yup. Scored a 96.

14. Are you nervous about driving over bridges/tunnels?
No.

15. Do you have a lot of junk in your car?
In the family car, of course. Try having a 2 year-old and not have Cheerios, the heads of several animal crackers and a buttload of toys. The project cars have all of the spare parts in them. The Jeep? Just the essentials. Don't keep much in there since I wheel it with the doors off from late May through September.

16. Ever been in an accident?
Too many.

17. Ever have a flat tire?
Yup.

18. Ever had something else happen to your car?
My '82 Camaro's rear hatch window was smashed by an unknown object (No entry gained). My Jeep was entered (Not broken, they just unzipped a window) and all of my CDs stolen. So there's a crackhead wandering around Washington, DC listening to Garth Brooks. Oh, and my Sunbird was broken into in Philly. .

19. Does your car have a sunroof?
The Jeep's got a drop top. And the T/A has T tops.

20. How many doors does your car have?
Four on the family car, two on the Blazer and T/A, and right now, none on the Jeep!

21. Is your transmission automatic or stick shift?
Stick in the Jeep, everything else is auto.

22. How many HP is your car?
Dunno. Never dyno'd any of 'em.

23. Does your car get good gas mileage?
The Blazer and the T/A are great, considering they don't run! The Jeep gets about 17-18 mpg, while the VW gets about 28-30.

24. Ever run over an animal with your car?
Can't live in Sussex county without runnin' at least one critter down.

25. Most passengers you've ever had in your car
Four in my teenage years, before the provisional licenses.

26. Places you usually drive your car?
To and from work, mainly. The Jeep gets wheeled at Rausch Creek in PA.

27. Ever get your car stuck somewhere?
Yeah, I've had a few bad stucks off road.

28. Ever back your car into something/someone back theirs into you?
All of my crashes were done going forward.

29. Ever driven without a license?
Nope.

30. Ever race your car?
Legally? No....

31. Ever created a profile for your ride at www.TheAutoLog.com?
No, but I did the FQuick thing thanks to this forum.

32. Ever had your windshield wipers stop working?
Yup. In a snowstorm. Friggin' awesome!

33. Ever lock your keys in your car?
Once or twice.

34. Anyone ever throw up in your car?
The baby spit up a few times.

35. Ever lose your keys?
Not really. Always find them before I leave the house...or I wouldn't be able to leave...the...house...or somethin'.

36. Ever have a dead battery?
Yup.

37. Ever hit a mailbox or run in a ditch?
Nope.

38. Ever leave your lights on?
Yeah.

Yeah, the family car.

The Cowbell Machine!!! (For the Jeep).
