THE DEFENSE

Q: Great Chevy! Where did you get it?

A: Suburban Chevrolet in Eden Prairie. I bought it because it was my favorite car, I could afford it and I wanted so I got it.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do in your car?

A: My favorite thing to do is sing real loud with the windows up!

Q: What is your favorite place that you've gone in your car?

A: The farthest I've gone in my car was to Indiana and back. I stopped at an outlet mall and got some good deals.

Q: What is your favorite thing to rock out to when you're driving?

A: I usually like to listen to local artists, like ACG. That one is a favorite!

Q: Do you have a favorite memory with your car?

A: I pulled up to a stoplight in the summer listening and singing loudly to Danity Kane's song Showstopper. It was right next to a Dairy Queen and there were a lot of people in line at Dairy Queen staring at me. It took me a moment to realize it. It was pretty embarrassing.

Q: Do you have any rules for your car?

A: First rule: No kids in my car. I have a two door and I hate lifting the seats up. Second: You have to wear your seatbelt if you're riding in my car because if you don't, it makes that terrible dinging noise.

Q: How often do you use your car?

A: Every single day.

Q: Is this your dream car?

A: This is not my dream car! My dream car is the Infiniti FX35.

Q: What kind of personality does your car have?

A: Probably be a mean girl because she's not a fast car, but the way I drive you'd think she was. I make her everything she is. Without me she'd be nothing.

Q: Why did you choose this car?

A: I chose my car because I used to have a G6 and I wanted a little car so I didn't have to give people rides. I wanted a two-door. Plus it is really good on gas and easy to park.
