So, after some hemming and hawing and a bit of searching and options weighing... I finally replaced the Pillager (my old Merc Villager which gave up the ghost a little over a month ago). The new car is a 2005 Ford Escape, which is a small suv that gets pretty decent mileage and has pretty reliable scores. You all know I'd much prefer something classic and beaten... but I also need something reliable for the next few years. I like the color (charcoal grey), and the fact that it has 4wd and discs at all four corners. Oddly enough, since it only has a 6 disc CD changer and no casette, I'll have to find an alternative method of connecting my Ipod to it. I also got it at a VERY good price (about $6,000 under blue book), and a good deal is always hard to pass up. It looks exactly like this:
Now all I need to do is thing of a name for it. Suggestions?

I've sat here for a couple of minutes figuring what I'd want to name it. I'm seeing something in the vicinity of a man who enjoys the classiness of the opera as much the ruggedness of the outdoors. Any name describing that kind that would fit perfectly. Hmm...
THE ELIMINATOR.
That's what I want my nickname to be, anyway.
I think that's the name of "Big Daddy" Don Garlits' car...
I think it looks like a Harrison. Very sexy yet manly & rugged. ( besides, it Is a ford )

I object. 1) it's grey. 2) it gets better mileage than your cars!
I take great pleasure in saying this....
"I don't have a car!"
of course you don't have a subway either but still, do they seriously sell SUVs in Portland?!
Wildebeest. I don't know why. That's just what popped into my head when I saw it.
