Mama's gotta brand new car

  This is my new love.  Isn't she cute!  I had owned a Ford Expedition for the past 8 years and I loved it and it served me well and it would have run another 200,000 miles and it was paid off .... and it cost 100.00 to fill the tank every week.  I just couldn't justify giving that much money to support the oil companies - so after a labor intensive search and a grueling negotiation with the dealership - I am now the proud owner of a silver Prius!  48 miles to the gallon and good well as good as can be for the environment.  need to name her - any suggestions?  The boys like Trixie (they wanted the Mach 5 as being fans of Speed Racer but I told them she was a girl so they settled on the gal character- aka Trixie)  and I thought of Penelope as in Penelope Pitstop = that was vetoed - so I am open for your suggestions.

Hey Girl! Me, I'm liking Trixie - 49 mpg that's quite a trick these days!! Also very much like the paintings - very expressive.
Been busy with the digging and all but think of you all often

Well, I watched Speed Racer and Wacky Races. I can see that you're really having a hard time choosing the right name for your car. Personally, I think Trixie is the better choice, but you can still overrule the veto if you really want Penelope.

Trixie sounds cute! Hmmm… Penelope is also a nice name, but I think it sounds too feminine and mature. :) Trixie, on the other hand, sounds a bit quirky and fun. And since it’s your mama’s new car, it would suit her well. After all, moms are fond of taking care of babies and children. Hehe. ;)
