I was 18 and I had a mustang that I'd purchased about four to five months before I could even drive!<BR/><BR/>(2) Ever had a wreck?

How ...Hey Cheryl,<BR/><BR/>First of all congrats to McKenna. How cool. I do remember that for myself and both my girls. Such excitement.<BR/><BR/>Here are my answers to Tuesdays questions:<BR/><BR/>1. I was 16 when I got my license. I drove my dad's "pink" Mercury. It was the coolest car he ever owned..<BR/><BR/>2. Never had a serious accident. PTL.<BR/><BR/>3. After 18 years of driving I got a speeding ticket. I was so remorseful and told the officer how I'd driven all that time without a ticket - to no avail. He said, in essence, "good for you, here's your ticket."<BR/><BR/>4. We're paying #3.35 here in Vegas.<BR/><BR/>5. I have two dreams a cooll Mini Cooper convertible and a Cadillac CTS.<BR/><BR/>6. Jim and I drove across country last year, stopping to see friends and relatives along the way. It was really great.<BR/><BR/>6. My next road trip dream is to meet our friends, Linda and Jason, in Seattle in the fall and do the Pacific Northwest. I think it will happen.<BR/><BR/>7. Don't tell my girls I went parking. After we were married, we sometimes forgot and just sat in our driveway and cuddled.<BR/><BR/>8. No to Chinese fire drill though my kids have done it many times.<BR/><BR/>9. Favorite car song "Little Deuce Coupe".<BR/><BR/>Have a happy day.hippo chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06404395478018699210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21716540.post-40891159218111268282008-04-01T17:15:00.000-05:002008-04-01T17:15:00.000-05:00Oh, CONGRATULATIONS, McKENNA!!!And I'm going to ta...Oh, CONGRATULATIONS, McKENNA!!!<BR/><BR/>And I'm going to take the list over to my blog and circulate it from there, Cheryl.
