I had a job as a dragonboat driver for a while, and when I wasn't steering, I was drumming at the other end. Yes, drumming.

That's not me (obviously), but the guy with the number? That was the job I did. You can see the drummer too in this pic.


Oh! And I tested a $10,000 bike...it was like sex personified in carbon fiber.

I drove a Schwinn Campus - like the one that JD drives in Scrubs.

Yeah....not very cool.

The most expensive thing I've ever driven was our corporate attorney's brand-new VW.

I learned to drive in a 1973 VW "Thing." It was fun -- the doors came off, the winshield went down.

My first car was a calypso green ford probe with hot pink stripes. I got it when I was 15.

At 17 (for graduation!) I got a brand new ford mustang convertible. It was bright red with white leather interior and a white rag top. I loved that car. It was the 1994 remodeled version.

When my car was in the shop (several times. *lol* Once my 'stang was in the shop for 6 weeks cause a friend dropped a penny in the lighter, and short circuited the electrical system. DOH!) , and whenever I wanted... *lol* I drove my grandmothers 1993 red corvette convertible. I was never too big on it though. The top was manual, and kind of a PITA. Plus on campus I had to parallel park a lot. Corvettes aren't easy cars to parallel park. *lol*

Then since I've been married I've had an anniversary addition Cougar (big mistake!), a sebring convertible (POS. The only used car I've ever had, and I won't have one again. I suppose that makes me spoiled but that car was CRAP), and now I have a navy blue 2006 Honda CR-V that I LOVE. I do miss my mustang though. That was soooo much fun. One time I had 8 Gamma Phi's in that car going to Walgreens to oogle the cute pharmacist. *LMAO*

A '67 mustang with a 351 and standard H shift. The thing that made it a wild ride? It leaked gasoline into the trunk and had a short in the tail light.

This is a Sunbeam Tiger.

It looks like the classic Sunbeam Alpine sports car -- except there is a Ford 289 under the hood.

Scary fast and really hard on tires.
