I have seen the others and I will no other to follow me where I'm going


so there's a question i have no answer for. i don't know what to say these days when people ask me, "what do you call your car?" usually i stammer out an answer like, uh...i just call it the firebird...some people call it a ninja car...yeah...got any ideas? i'm starting to notice that more and more, this is a common question, and a few of my friends just got new cars and have made a point of deciding on a name. i don't even know if all cars are girls. sometimes i call my car my baby. either way it just seems like a male presence. ah don't know. i started looking at transformers names just for kicks, but that's about the closest i've come to finding a name that seems to fit, in my mind anyways. Ravage is the name of the crazy jaguar thing and Sideswipe is that sick silver car, both in the second transformers movie. you'd think this would be easier, to me my car has a clear personality in other ways. there are some mornings it doesn't like waking up, but most of the time it's bucking out of the gate - eager to be moving, yet when other cars try to race it's chill and self-assured, confident. it likes to listen to 100.9, which is modern and alternative rock. mainstream pop is ok during commercials. it's in great shape for a 27 year old car and it knows it, but it's not boastful, it just is exactly what it is...ok see what i mean? ah well...i'm open to suggestions, but for now the search continues...
