Meme strong enough for man but made for woman

[brynndragon]

(the subject is a reference to Margret Cho's show at MIT last night, which entirely rocked my socks. More on that later)

1. What vehicle do you drive?
My Lady, a 1996 Mercury Sable

2. How long have you had it?
1 week

3. What is the coolest feature on your vehicle?
As of now, I'm gonna say the tach, or the handling (as my old car had, well, neither ;P). I might like the ABS brakes and/or the ability to handle snow like a 4x4 a ton some day tho ;P.

4. What is the most annoying thing about your vehicle?
Have to go with the (hopefully temporary) extreme dislike she has for shifting between first and second gear. Trans fluid looks entirely fine, so I'm gonna add some gunk I got, once I figure out how to remove enough trans fluid that it doesn't overflow when I add the bottle (problem being the only way to get any fluid out is through the dipstick, which is located in a difficult access location).

5. If money were no object, what vehicle would you be driving right now?
Honda Rebel 450. Oh, you mean car? Right now, something like a Mazda Miata, a cute little convertable that handles corners almost like a bike. Someday, when I gain clue and skill, I want a 60's-70's muscle car restored by yours truly as well as a chopper I built myself, since Harley internals are shit but the style rocks, and maybe an original Bonneville also restored by yours truly.

For the meme to be strong, though, it has to have a means of propagation.

Is this the interview meme that was going around this summer?

Actually, this is a "friday five", which changes weekly but the basic meme has been going on for quite a while, in various places. I enjoy watching the chains of connection by seeing how memes flow through LJ, realizing that there really are about 6 people in the world. . .

I know where you could find a '58 Cadillac that needs a LOT of work... ;)

Well, even beyond the "if money was no object" part of it (restoration is expensive if done properly, and I don't even have jackstands or a torque wrench), I severely lack clue at the moment. I might see if there's a local community college that offers automotive classes and take one or two at some point, unless I can find someone to "apprentice" under. . .
