Here are a couple of photos of my new Prius. Sorry for the low quality; they were taken quickly, in dim light, without benefit of flash (the ones where I did use the flash are sharper, but overall darker, so I'm not posting those).<\/p>\nHere are a couple of photos of my new Prius.

I haven't yet named the car; suggestions welcome, but as with Eleanor<\/a> (follow the \"next entry\" links from that entry until 26 November to see the entire heffalump saga, or just search my journal for \"heffalump\"<\/a>), I reserve the right to pick a name without regard to what people suggest. For that matter, I reserve the right to leave the car nameless. You can suggest as many names as you like, either by posting a comment from my journal page (LJ folks, remember to follow the link to my journal before commenting) or by sending me email. I may or may not do a poll later to see what names people like best, but probably not.<\/p>\n I've always found the practice of naming inanimate objects (especially important ones like houses and cars) charming, but I've rarely done it myself. And may still not in this case; depends on whether I encounter a name that I really like.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here are a couple of photos of my new Prius.

Of course, I never did get around to naming the Geo Metro; I always wanted to name it something to do with hummingbirds, but never found quite the right word or name. (And it was a little too blue in color to be hummingbird-green anyway.) Cat used to call it Brio, because that was embroidered on the dashboard cover (it had been the previous owner's nickname), but I never really thought of that as its name.<\/p>\n
