"I tried, along the way, to be a gay man, because it would be so much easier to be a gay man. But I discovered that you just can't choose these things" -- MTF transsexual guest on Oprah, 2003-07-31. (I typed this in just after hearing it, but didn't have 't on tape to go back and listen to, so I may not have the phrasing exact.)

1. What vehicle do you drive? Red 1988 Toyota Camry sedan.
2. How long have you had it? Since the start of December 2001. 53 tanks of gas ago.
3. What is the coolest feature on your vehicle? It was donated.
4. What is the most annoying thing about your vehicle? One of the front wheels feels like it's about to fall off, and if I drive more than 40 MPH or longer than half an hour, I'll rip up a tire. (Somebody told me that based on my description, it sounds like I have a broken McPhereson(sp?) strut.) If that were fixed, the most annoying thing would be the leak in the radiator (I carry jugs of water in the back seat).
5. If money were no object, what vehicle would you be driving right now? If money were no object, I'd have a two-seater -- probably an old Fiat X1/9 for sentimental reasons and because that fits me reasonably -- for most of my driving, and a new minivan or an old station wagon for when I want to carry lots of instruments at once, amplifiers, drums, more than one passenger, etc. (I don't think I have enough to warrant a full-size van... I should measure.) If it had to be one vehicle ... well always liked the Volvo 740 wagon. I wonder what kind of gas mileage those get.
