my new friend

Two weeks ago my good, faithful car, the Elephant Dynamite (a sassy beige Ford Contour) broke down on my way home from Dallas. On Saturday I said goodbye to this car o' mine- travel companion on trips various including Wisconsin, California, Michigan and Texas. It did a good job, and it's not its fault it was made with shoddy American car manufacturing.


But my mom was in town, so she helped me find a new set of wheels. Meet my wee little car, the Zip, the Vroom, the various other names that have not yet stuck:







Pretty sweet! For the price of a used Honda Civic, too- and the dealer took ED (for a $1000! can you believe it!) from me to give to a new good home. The Scion is awesome in so many ways, plus I get to be one of the few on the road with such a cool car. Great sound system, excellent handling, pretty, and sexy to boot. Now I just need a name- your suggestions?

(Chris: It's not pink, but I didn't have much choice in that matter. However, I did program the stereo to say "Cheers, Fuckface!" whenever I turn the car on. :)
