Feel the undercarriage, of course.

Actually, I just have to chose which name I like best. I've been thinking of a name for my current car for 10 years. Nothing ever came to me so it never got one.

If it feels hot, does it mean my Corona is in heat?

I've changed my mind. The name "Milo" seems to milktoast for an MCS. I think I'll go with Bombadil.

I have never named a car in my entire life but for the Mini I felt somehow compelled to do so. As my screen name suggests, I named mine Pigwidgin. Immediately people assume I'm a Potterhead and therefore thought of Ron's owl as the reason for the name, and yes, I AM a Potterhead, but I wasn't even thinking of dear Harry when looking for a name. I was looking at a website on mystical names and creatures and saw that Pigwidgin means "a little fairy or gnome" and the name stuck. And Pigwidgin has decided that he is a he, and to this date the reason is a mystery.

It's also a chocolate milk like drink that's a favorite around the world (just not so big in the US)..

I named my car Gawain after Sir Gawain, one of King Arthur's knights.

I name all my cars, motorcycles, bicycles. They all have personalities, and all are like people. When I told my daughter I bought a mini she decided to name her...
So the new mini is called JAeeks. Short for Jack A_ _ eek!

Since JAeeks only has 15 miles on her, and she is stored for the winter it's hard to tell what kind of personality she has.

Spring will tell.

My MCS definitely does not remind me of chocolate milk. Glad I changed it to Bombadil.

I guess Milo is better than naming it after this Japanese drink, though.
