I can't believe he called Mike "Matt" this morning. LOL

Ruben is funny...we've all called each other the wrong names. Some people call me Jeff Jancoat. ha! So here's a good question since we're on the traffic topic. The skyfoxpilot asked me what kind of car I drive and what my classic dream car would be. BTW...hi skyfox pilot! Sorry we never get to see the guys behind the cam. It's interesting to see why and how people choose the car they drive. Obviously if we were all given our "dream car" it would prob. be different than what we currently drive. Thus, we all pick our cars for certain reasons...mostly for practical and financial reasons. My reason was a little different though because I have to drive into work around 2:45 a.m. Since I don't want to be stranded on the side of the road for a flat tire or engine problems in the dark and lonely night (and yes that has happened to me since I began my professional career), I tend to invest a little heavily in my car than I would like to. I drive a Lexus because I trust it and because I liked the customer service I received when I went car shopping. However, I would love to ride a motorcycle... it's cheap on gas and you can squeeze through traffic if you need to. In Houston though, I don't think it's safe on certain highways (especially the ones constantly under construction) given the things I've seen fly off the overpasses. What kind of car do you drive and why?

Minivans rock! They are total babe magnets. That's why I drive one.


P.S. Glad to see you started a new thread there, Jan!

I DRIVE A TOYOTA RAV 4. IT HAS MORE ROOM AND WE HAVE 2 KIDS. BEFORE WE HAD A PONTIAC GRAND AM. I TOLD MY HUSBAND WE NEEDED TO GET A NEW CAR BEFORE WE HAD OUR 2ND CHILD. (JR. WAS BORN JULY 5, 06) I THINK IT WAS THE BEGINING OF JUNE 06, WHEN IT RAINED AND FLOODED AND MY HUSBAND GOT CAUGHT IN AN UNDER PASS AND TOTALLY FLOODED THE CAR OUT. (I WAS ON BED REST AT THE TIME) MY HUSBAND WAS SO STRESSED OUT, I TOLD HIM WE NEEDED A BIGGER CAR ANYWAYS LOL :)

When I graduated high school, I decided to get a Ford Escape (don't know what it is? think a short Explorer). That's pretty impractical for an 18 yo, but I picked it because I wanted a 4 door car/SUV. I like being a little bit taller than a regular car, but it's not SO tall that I feel like a midget in it.


I've been driving my car for the last 6 years and LOVE it! There is a big cargo area too that made it super easy to move to and from my college dorm each semester.


I want to get a newer vehicle sometime in 2008. Not sure what I want to get, but hopefully the auto show will help.
