    So on the way to Costco to pick up some vitamins, I stopped by a dealer lot and ended up taking home a 2012 Prius. I was initially hoping for a Black Four because honestly I love the all-blacked out Prius - it's like the econo bat mobile...but I ended getting a Silver Four instead...I've never been a fan of silver. I was also a little sad that it actually has a set of silver after-market rims on them as I actually kinda dig the stock black rims. But the low miles and a sense of a good deal made me take the bait.

    As I was driving my new ride back home the idea of giving it a name popped into my head. maybe it's because the energy I had during the ride home felt almost like bringing home a new pet...I don't know. Anyways, I named it Furiosa.

    Ok that's it. Hello, and I'd love to know if you named your ride as well!

    Mine is Muriel. Years ago I had a Garmin GPS and I used the female Aussie voice for directions. Since I had seen Muriel's Wedding so many times (and I've been to Australia 12 times), the name seemed fitting.

    Being fueled by my inner teenage sci-fi/fantasy geek's love for Star Wars and Charmed, my black Prius got named Darth Prudence.

    Maybe all the folks who don't name their car are keeping quiet, but not me! :) My Prius has no name, and I've never named any of my previous cars. It seems like an odd thing to do to me :p
