DEFEND YOUR RIDE: Blake At The University Of Minnesota Boathouse

Q: Awesome car and awesome color! Where did you buy it?

A: I bought it when I was down in Arkansas.

Q: Any special reason why you bought it?

A: I bought it because it was a really good deal, had steering wheel controls, and an iPod jack. I just loved it and I just wanted it.

Q: What's your favorite feature?

A: There aren't very many cars that are rally blue.

Q: What is your favorite thing to listen to when you drive your rally blue car?

A: I just like to listen to music really loud when I drive. I also have a couple of CDs that I like to listen to.

Q: Do you have rules for your car?

A: No smoking. No spilling. Pretty much don't act like a savage and just be clean!

Q: Do you have frequent passengers in your car breaking those rules?

A: Usually I do, especially if I go out of town. But during the week, it is usually just me in my car.

Q: If your car had a personality, what kind of personality would it have?

A: My car would be spontaneous and daring!

Q: Do you have a nickname for your daring car?

A: Well, people tell me it's my baby.

Q: What's the farthest you've driven it?

A: I've gone to Upper Peninsula of Michigan a couple of times. Been to Duluth a lot. I drove the car back to Minnesota from Arkansas after I bought it, and it was storming like crazy.

Q: What's a favorite memory that you've had in this car?

A: So many good memories. Probably teaching my girlfriend how to drive it. She was so scared she was going to break it.

Q: Finally, if your awesome, rally blue, daring car was no more, and you hit the lotto, what would you buy?

A: Probably the same car I have now only a Subaru WRX STI. It looks awesome and not a lot of people have them. I don't like having something that everybody else has.
