Say Hello To My Little Friend

Yesterday I did it. I got it done. I bought a car. Here is me attempting to shake hands with the car.
This is me showing off the rear of the car.
This is me driving the car...not really, it's a set-up.
This is me getting intimate with the car.
Now, all that's left, is naming the car. Here is my plan: I am going to encourage you, dear reader, to give me a good number of suggestions for names in the comments section. After collecting these suggestions and filtering out those I loathe, I will put a new poll up on the side of this blog (see: What Should I Do poll as example) and you, sweet reader, will be allowed to vote. Let's get this done, shall we?

A note: my last car (see the wreckage at your right) was named Lola, after The Kinks' song..you know because she walked like a woman but talked like a man.

    Well I sent a long and silly digression about names last night and it may have gotten vaporized in cyberspace somewhere.

    Sticking with the short version that really cars name themselves despite clever polls, my name for your car is FITZ. As in, this commutejobbookdressrestaurant is giving me fits and I gotta get outta here in my lovely wheels.

    Cute hat by the way, and cute dress! Linen?

    I once bought a pair of shoes (mostly) because they were called "fickle". A most supreme name for an object, to my mind; plus, naming the car thus, you avoid jinxes.

    I second silver surfer, though.

  12. Well thank you about the hat. It's one of my mother's Ascot cast offs, good for keeping the sun off my face.

    And yes, it is a linen dress. I bought it for my senior show and pull it out every summer to see if it still fits. It still does, but not with the same effect, unfortunately.
