the friday five (vehicle)   (friday five)

1. What vehicle do you drive?
A bottom-of-the-line gold 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier 2-door coupe.

2. How long have you had it?
Since a couple days before Woodstock '99, which was the compelling event requiring me to have a car. An interesting fact about Woodstock '99 is that there was a Mercedes on its roof partially on fire after RHCP did a good job of giving people an excuse to riot. Now there's a car story!

3. What is the coolest feature on your vehicle?
Sadly, the manual transmission is my favorite feature. I still remember when it actually cost less to have a manual.

4. What is the most annoying thing about your vehicle?
There is no tachometer, even though it's a manual. The cupholder is right in front of the shifter, which means the radio station changes every time you shift with a cup there. The seat belts are annoying and break easily. My particular Cavalier has had enough transmission problems that I needed a new transmission a couple months ago. Good thing it was still under warranty.

5. If money were no object, what vehicle would you be driving right now?
Probably a Porsche 911 4S for fun and a Civic hybrid for commuting.
