3. What is your dream car?

Can't say I have one, I am pragmatic about cars and don't spend much time dreaming about them
4. What is the worst experience you ever had with a car?

I was in Barstow CA driving out to Ft Irwin. It was 6AM on a Saturday and I was on a deserted desert highway. I saw a car coming in the opposite direction taking a curve at much too high a speed. It swerved into my lane and I moved to the shoulder as far as I dared. Finally, it got traction and swerved back barely missing my car. I watched the rear view mirror and the car hit the sand and then flipped over three times
5. What are you driving now?

2008 Hyundai Santa Fe

1. Well, I took driver's ed in high school and passed when I was 16.....but I don't drive, have never had more than a restricted license, so I don't know if that counts.
2. I've never owned a car.
3. Lamborghini Countach
4. Probably getting into a spinning crash in high school. I've never been seriously hurt or had anyone I was with seriously hurt in a car.
5. I'm not driving now.

 

[Foxfyre]

1. How old were you when you learned to drive?
I was 15. Never had a learner's license--not sure they even had those way back when. But I took my driver's test for my first unrestricted license on my 16th birthday--it was on pretty much sheet ice in Santa Fe NM--that was one brave cop--and I passed.

2. What was your first car?
My first car as community property was an aging 1956 Ford Victoria. My first car that was my very own in my own name was a brand new 1995 Subaru Impreza Outback. I still have it.

3. What is your dream car?
I would love a good van for traveling--something with seats so comfortable you just melt into them.

4. What is the worst experience you ever had with a car?
When I was in highschool, we were in a topless jeep on an icy mountain road leading from Santa Fe to the ski basin--we spun out and almost went off the road and would have fallen a deadly distance. Hung the rear bumper on a tree or we would have--the wheels were hanging in space. We were really lucky.

5. What are you driving now?
That same 1995 Subaru Impreza Outback. (Hubby has a newer car that I drive when I absolutely have to, but I love that little Subaru.)

2) What is your best memory?
Oh geez. . .so many over a long life. . .not sure I can single out just one.

That no matter how bad it gets or how low we feel, the sun will come out for us again.

That I somehow made a positive difference in the lives of those who knew me.

 

[Derideo_Te]

Catching myself lying to myself. I swore never to do it again.

2) What is your best memory?

So many to choose from but I am going to say when my 4 month old hugged me.

3) What is the one thing you would love to forget?

For all the mistakes I have made I don't want to forget any of them so that I won't ever make them again.

4) What is the one thing you want to never forget?

To say I love you to my nearest and dearest every day.

5) What do you want to be remembered for?

I am going with Foxy's answer...to have made a positive difference in the lives of others.

 

[Nosmo King]

My worst memory is of the morning my father died. But he died the death most of us would wish for ourselves. He died three hours after suffering from a massive cerebral hemorrhage. He died peacefully with his family surrounding his hospital bed. He had no tubes or IVs attached.

My best memory was graduation day at The Ohio State University. It took me an extra year because my freshman year was dedicated to beer and foosball and intramural sports and college chicks. that's a lot to put on your plate and still get studying in.

To quote Frank Sinatra, Regrets? I've had a few. But then again, too few to mention. So there are memories to savor for their stupidity and their wisdom.

I'd like to be remembered as a guy who always gave someone the benefit of the doubt. I'd like to be remembered as the anti W.C. Fields and always gave the sucker an even break. It's up to me, but then it's really up to those who survive me, to remember me as kind, gentle and forgiving.

[HenryBHough]

1) What is your worst memory?

Stepping through an open trap door, landing on a hard floor about 10-feet down. No memory of the fall itself - only of the landing.

2) What is your best memory?

First solo flight - laughing like hell while looking at the empty seat beside me.

3) What is the one thing you would love to forget?

The sequence of small mistakes that led to the accidental death of someone.

Meeting the lady who became my wife - in a bar - and me in pajamas at the time.

5) What do you want to be remembered for?

Amusing others with stories of actual things that happened to or around me - things so bizarre that most think they're imagined. They're not.
