My 07 chili red/ black Cooper was "Madeline". Trying to decide on a name for my white/ white Countryman while I await production. I've been mentally listing all of my favorite things that are white: biscuits, daisies, Eminem, cool whip, cotton... lol. Casper is fairly common. I'm considering "Boo Diddley". "Daisy Biscuit" sure does seem like a good Southern name tho.

Depends on your car. If it is not performing like you thought it should and is always not working, you could call it Barack.

A BIG BANG THEORY reference! awesome!

I haven't quite decided on his name yet - got him last tuesday night.

I do have it narrowed down though - these are my top picks...

Rupert/Ripper/Giles - that's a Buffy reference for those of you who are unfamiliar.

Dexter - he is my favorite serial killer - looks normal on the outside - DARK on the inside - also that would make me the "Dark Passenger" for those of you that follow the show

If he had been a she, then it probably would have been Minipenny - for a James Bond/Keen Eddie reference.

Little Joey!
We were in Australia about 5 years ago on vacation and heard all about kangaroos...naturally. The baby in the pouch is known as Little Joey...we always liked that.

Fast forward 5 years...we've had our Pepper White Mini about two weeks now...4 vehicles between 2 people...yesterday we needed to run some errands and my wife asked, "what car do you want to take?"

(Choices: new Mini, Lexus RX300, Prius, Porsche 944)

Without thinking, I said, "let's take Little Joey!"

Our Mini has a name!
