if you had to participate in one olympic event what would it be and why?

If I HAD to participate? makes it sound like I wouldn't have a choice. Now if I could participate, I'd love to Bobsled!

what is the one song you always sing along to?

I dont' have any one song that I sing with every time. But if I hear a song that I know, I'll generally sing along.

do you wear a seatbelt in the car?

Can never be to careful.

car, SUV or truck and why?

Car preferably, though it'd be nice to have a truck for those times its needed. SUV's are worthless, they're gas guzzlers and trophies for those that think they need them.

are you a good/bad driver? explain

I like to think of myself as a good driver, I learned stick shift, in mountain roads, in bad weather (uphill, both ways). California is easy driving after that. I know how to give the person ahead of me room and not to tailgate. I know how to use my turn signals. I also know that you don't choose a lane and stick with it, you stay in the right most lane that allows you to go the speed your comfortable with. If people are passing on the right you need to get over. I don't drive in the carpool lanes when I'm alone. When a person next to me is obviously (read: using their turn signals) trying to get into my own lane for whatever reason, I am courteous and give them room to allow them in. I plan ahead and make sure I'm in the lane I need to be before I need to be there. I pull over, stop, and turn off my vehicle before I answer my cell phone, and if that means I've missed a call, so be it. I know what it means to be a defensive driver, and you can bet I am. I try my hardest not to put anyone with me or around me at risk due to my driving, and I'd sure appreciate it if other drivers would give me the same respect.
