Great interview, especially about how to keep going in the time of rejections. <br />As for a dream car, I've been waiting to get a new one for them to make a safe, non-polluting, fuel efficient car that will last for years. At this point I need to add one that will be accessible for a feeble old woman, since the changes on those lines re going to take forever, it seems. <br />Hope I win, but I'll read it regardless!Sandy Brehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073122273951186418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-72586495895780761382013-05-31T21:52:45.521-05:002013-05-31T21:52:45.521-05:00Without a doubt, my favorite car would have to be ...Without a doubt, my favorite car would have to be my Jeep Cherokee, such a fun ride.
