Ok... here's the really big question. I got a great deal on a 2001 Alero (we'll shortly be needing a second car). The wife will likely get my Vibe, and I'll be driving the used car to and fro to work.
I've named the Vibe the U.S.S. Waikato after a Flareite's suggestion. I now need a cool river name for the Alero. Any thoughts?

The problems an American faces with cars seem to be greatly different to my own.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Following on from my successful nomination of Waikato, I could suggest another river in New Zealand. How about the River Whakaki? Innocuous enough one would think, until you discover that in Maori the WH- sound is pronounced PH-. . . Or how about Whakatane? I really liked Whakatane, and there's a terrific Thai restaurant there.

Or, Britain has lots of rivers yet those Americanocentric bastards at Paramount totally ignored the fact. Time to redress the balance? How about the USS Ogmore - it's Welsh!
