1. How old were you when you got your drivers license?
16. Got it the first time I tested - barely.
2. Did you get your own car right away, use the family car, or bum rides from friends?
A family car, when I could borrow it (which was often to get to school, because there was no bus to there and driving me was a now-avoidable nuisance...).
3. What was your first car and what was it like?
The car I learned on and mostly drove was a lovely little 1980 Volkswagen Rabbit - okay, lovely is a stretch, those cars were neither pretty nor ugly - but it handled just beautifully, agile and hard to get into trouble with. It spoiled me for taller or larger cars; I've stuck to standard or smaller cars since and vastly prefer a compact car to a Jeep or even a large car.
The first car I owned, in part or whole, was the old 1990 Ford Taurus that Scott and I got, rust-spotted and far from new - but ours, and functional - for longer than I'd expected when we got it, in truth.
4. How old were you when you got your first traffic ticket and what happened?
I have never gotten a traffic ticket. I got a warning, once: one headlight on the Taurus, not always the most reliable, had gone out and I hadn't known it yet.
5. What is your favorite car story, be it an accident, road trip, etc?
I'm not sure I have a favorite car story, honestly. I can't think of one right now, in any case.
