DEFEND YOUR RIDE: Lisa On Mulberry Street

Q: When and where did you get your Nissan Altima?

A: I bought my car November 2007, day after Thanksgiving. A black friday deal from Jefferson City, Missouri.

Q: Is there any special reason that you bought it?

A: I needed a new car. I had a Honda Civic previously and it started to cost more to keep it maintained.

Q: What's your favorite feature?

A: My favorite part is the heated seats, and the Bluetooth.

Q: What is your least favorite feature?

A: I would say that it is a four-cylinder.

Q: What's your car's main use?

A: Travel, personal use, and more travel.

Q: When you're doing all your travelling, what do you like to listen to in your car?

A: My favorite thing to listen to, I would have to say, is Righteous Start. It's a prayer devotion that my pastor does.

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

A: A go-getter personality. A doer. Someone that goes after it and gets it done! Determined. Ready to go anywhere. Always up for the challenge, saying: "Lets roll!"

Q: Have you gone on any road trips in your car?

A: I brought it home from Missouri. And I've also taken road trips within Minnesota to Alexandria, St. Cloud, and Rochester.

Q: Do you have rules for your car?

A: I don't like people to eat in my car.

Q: Do you have frequent eating passengers in your car?

A: Normally, it's just me.

Q: What do you think your next car will be?

A: I'm looking at a Crossover or an SUV, probably a Crossover. I like the way they drive. I was a passenger in one and I didn't feel like I was going to tip over. It was roomy and I could see everything around me.
