Are you a Librivox Porsche?

Everything except LibriVox (yes, this is where knitting gets discussed. Now includes non-LV Volunteers Wanted projects)

Which vehicle describes you as a LibriVoxer?

I am a tow truck. I find projects that are getting rusty. They have sat there. I rescue the project and give it a full repair and tune up.
Fan of all 80s pop music except Meatloaf.

I'm usually a hearse (murder mysteries), but sometimes a horse (westerns).

I would be an older model electric vehicle of somewhat dated style and decreased efficiency, needing more frequent maintenance and having a battery that requires charging more often - nowadays used only for short trips to familiar places while judiciously avoiding steep inclines.

I'm a tractor. I chug along. I may not be pretty, but I get the job done!

(And, according to the country song, at least some people consider tractors sexy, so I guess that is equivalent to some people enjoy my recordings. Ha ha!)

I'm often, and I am at the moment, a spritely eighteenth century post chaise (though the other night I got overturned in Soho).

In seventeenth century France I'm heavier and grander - but the roads are terrible.

I haven't had the luck to be an automobile yet, copyright restrictions....

I'm also a bus driver. I mostly drive two buses;

One is colourful and bright - well it can get a bit gloomy and depressing depending on the weather - passengers mostly board for a few stops, but some travel longer, on the "Monthly Traverser".

The other is haunted, black and foreboding, where monsters, ghosts and even Death may lurk in its dark corners, still some passengers are brave enough to ride on the "Midnight Crawler".

Ha! But then, forum posts doesn't exactly equal production.

Back in the Dark Ages, we had a "leaderboard" that showed readers' completed sections, sorted high to low. I was up near the top then, but I have no idea where I am now!

I’m a Ford Model-T. Unless I’m a horse and buggy. Occasionally, I take a trip on a spaceship.

Bit of a boomerang here…

I'd say specifically a Toyota Tundra; started off a bit "odd," and recently "remodeled." 8-)

Reading wise whichever car travels the most because I'll read anything just about. :thumbs:
