Ok... in keeping with the whole "runabouts are named after rivers thing"... I need suggestions.
I've used Sandusky and Monongahela on previous cars.
This is my new baby. In the world outside my mind, she's a 2005 Pontiac Vibe (the name still makes me think "vibrator"), base model, not very many options. But she's brand new, she's all mine, and I can afford the payments.
I've considered Susquehana and Gishon.

My God, the man is sex on legs. Good to see you've lost the shirt that made you look fat, though. 8)

Try Runabout Amu Darya... its a river in Afghanistan. Or try Runabout Zambenzi from Africa. That or just call it Runabout Matrix.

Rhine, Nile, Congo.
Or just call it River, after the disturbing Firefly girl.

That's one pimpin' machine, I must say.
Also, you have man-breasts. There is nothing sexier than a man with man-breasts.

I have man-breasts? Well, in my defense, that's not exactly a high quality photograph. I don't think I've got man-breasts though...
Anyway... that took a turn for the weird. I like Amu Darya and Waikato.
I need to make up little decals out of RV striping and put it in very small letters on the back cargo hatch window. Nothing huge or hard to remove... just small and noticable only to the incredibly geeky.

River Des Peres.
Okay, that's not actually a river. It's a large drainage ditch. But, I mean, we are talking about a Pontiac...

A few quick changes to your hood-ornament... and you should be good to go.

I whipped up some signage in Illustrator and printed it out just now. If I can get my hands on some red and black striping, I'll make the graphics for the back window. On the left hand side of the hatch handle, "U.S.S. Waikato", on the right side, "NCC-76502".

Well this is the second Toyota Corolla S I bought this year... my 2005 Impulse Red version. I was going to put Star Trek stuff on it but ended up just putting the Kirk/Spock election bumper sticker on it... which peeled off nicely after November 2.

USS Rator....
My roommate has a Vibe, I really dislike driving it for some reason. Might be cause she freaks out so badly over everything.... Something like, "AHHHHHH, you hit a bug, you might crack the windshield, slow down....." From 5 mph....

Yah, driving someone else's car while they're inside is never fun. 'Specially if it's a brand new car. My dad told em I should take his new Vette out for a spin, and I just looked at him blankly and said, "Uuuhhh.. No."
That Corolla looks pretty sweet. The Vibe is built on Toyota's Matrix chasis, but I think the Matrix is butt ugly.

I like my Corolla... I did some minor changes to the car since I took that picture so I'll upload the new ones when I find my regular digital camera. It still looks the same... just that now I have my CA plates, the Corolla S plate frame is on the front, the Corolla door sills are installed along with the cargo net, and that I might tint the windows and install an Alpine IVA-D300 head unit that has the pop out LCD touch screen for my iPod.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.

It is a stupid name for a car... why not just call it Pontiac Flare?
