I have not thankfully. But I did just complete a rather long (10+ hour) road trip to Northern Pennsylvania. The distance really wasn't so bad, but the fact that I made the trip all by myself made for a REALLY LONG 10 hours. Somewhere outside of Pittsburgh, I had finally run out of CDs and language tapes to listen to and had already called enough family and friends, so I had to resort to stupid little games to keep my mind occupied. I thought one of the games I played might make for a fun (and totally inane) blog post - so here goes:
The trick here is to try to remember every single car that you've ever driven (meaning actually put into gear and made move). I had a little advantage because I was on the freeway with cars flying by to jog my memory, but I also have the big disadvantage of having working in a couple of car dealerships as a teenager. The cars in bold are the ones that I've owned at some point. I was also shocked to find how many of my friends cars I've driven, so take a look and see if you can find yours:

When did you drive a Lada?! Lol. That's awesome.
Wow that is an impressive list! Crazy! Oh and what do you have against Fords Huh!!?!?! We happen to own two- a Ford Ranger and an Escape. They have treated us well. I loved my civic though. And a Jeep Liberty would be awesome!
Mike,
Unfortunately, I have a list of similar length. And sorry Mellisa I would have to agree with Mike's opinion about the Fords.
Hmmm, I see a Ford Taurus on there! Ah, Littlefield! We really like our Mazda.
On a side note: my parents' Expedition is almost 10 years old and has been an AWESOME car! Only thing replaced is the alternator.
He he. I note that all you Ford lovers correctly stick up for your Ford trucks or SUVs. But Ford really takes the hit with the sedans - not a lot of saving graces there.
We're pretty happy with our Jeep right now - my first actual American car.
PS - I drove the Lada when we went back to Russia to visit in 2003. Maybe the Ford sedans aren't so bad relatively speaking ... :)
