These kinds of memes always get me in some sort of trouble. So of course… I do them

Here’s the game:

There are 30 questions
Each one has been answered by one name (typically an LJ user)
The questions however are not visible.
The only way to get the questions is to request them and perpetuate the meme.
So you have to comment that you’ll do the meme and follow through.

Below the cut are 30 answers
30 Answers… But what are the questions?

Let’s start with the relevant icons to explain:

So… we have the new Prius. And it has all the trimmings. Including the ones we couldn’t get when we first went shopping for one 3 years ago. Satnav (Atmos can not be disabled!), Bluetooth, 5 disc CD.. and a cassette deck.

Today I purchased a cassette adaptor. I plugged it into my iPhone and fired up the Doctor Who theme for aiden_freeman

Playing on the car’s really nice sound system…Aiden was giddy. He loves the theme.

Afterwards as usual he babbled a bit at said he requisite, “Doc-Doc?” Which is very good and we encourage him.

Then he blew our minds. After babbling from the back seat we hear him go:

Ooooh Weeee Ooooh.

It took the better part of 5 minutes for us to recover ourselves. The toddler grinning ear to ear at his accomplishment.

This is my boy and I AM a PROUD father.

With an anniversary of life:

Happiest of solar returns (birthdays) for faerievixen2 and also to mlerules

Got a 2005 Prius about 3 years ago. Loved it.

Two months ago while sitting at the end of a line of cars stopped at a red light in a residential neighborhood, my wife got rear-ended by kid going at highway speeds.

Note.. “Loved it”

Settling on a total loss of a Prius was nearly impossible. Our insurance refused to believe that the value of a 3-4 year old car could possibly appreciate rather than depreciate. We turned to the at fault’s insurance. Even they lowballed their first offer, basing it on KBB values from cars in January (8 months ago). (About 60% street)

After finding a car on a local Toyota lot that was not only the same year, but also the same colour with the same milage…. they really couldn’t tell us that a prius was worth what they’d offered.

So tonight… I’m back on Prius chat. And after 2 months of rental hell with 23 MPG driving. My wife and I are back in practically the same car we lost in June.

We bumped up one model… so we now have nav and bluetooth. So 2 months.. and we basically got a refinance and a recently cleaned and upgraded car.

Now, the only thing missing is the tabs for the old plates and…

Oh, yes…

It’s missing a Pittsburgh Steelers’ bumper sticker 🙂

While this isn’t ours.. this is pretty much what it looks like
