1. I was at a party a while back and somehow got entagled in a car discussion
Everyone was talking about what kind of cars they drive, when it got around to me, I just looked at my shoes and said, "Um, yeah, I ride a skateboard."

It was hilarious.

So yeah, I ride a skateboard.

Love it. Great for lugging kids around.

We also have a 2006 Chrysler 300, but it is a company car.

I'm still working on getting my license. I passed the written test to get my permit, but I need to practice more before I take the driving exam.

Edit to fix freep-like spelling.

8. a hard bargain
no car, here. I just rented a Ford Taurus to make the drive to my folks' place. I didn't like it as much as the last rental car I had (a Chevy Impala).

The last car I called my own was in fact a 1983 Chevy Impala police package. It was sorta like that car in the Blues Brothers.

39. 2000 Toyota Echo
And I love it!

I think it was about the most fuel efficient car available at the time, other than hybrids, which cost a good bit more (relative to my small budget anyway.)

It has decent power for a 4-cyl, and good driver visibility because of good-sized windows, and seats which sit higher than in other small cars. People always comment that they're surprised by how much roomier it seems inside than they were expecting, considering how small it looks from the outside. It's the tardis of Toyotas!

I've had it about 6 years now, and the only problems have been that the tail lights, wiper blades, and cigarette lighter wore out and had to be replaced. It's never left me stranded, which is particularly kind of it considering I admittedly suck at keeping up with the recommended maintenance schedule.
