As I said, I don't have any kids to post pics of but I do have a car!Those of you who know about my car saga will know that I have been blessed to have been given a car to use during my year back in Sydney. It's a GREAT car with lots of extra features like leather seats, central locking, power windows, power mirrors and a CD (including mp3 and wav) player but...I can't drive it yet! It happens to be a manual (trans: stick shift) and I have previously only driven auto. So I'm in the process of learning (or should I say stalling)!
To celebrate this wonderful gift, I need your help in naming the car! I'm thinking 'Jonah' after my ex-flatmate's ex-german shepherd puppy - since they are both boys that I can't control! See the 'In memory of' section in the side panel.
Please enter your name suggestions by making a comment. The prize (there should always be a prize) is a chocolate bar of your choice. If you're not in Australia, you will receive it the next time I see you (may be a while yet for some of you)!
Another way you can be involved: my car needs 'healing' as the air-conditioner is broken and will be too expensive to fix. Since it is 'winter' (Xining spring) now, it won't be a problem for a while but when the summer comes around, it's going to get quite sweaty. So please be asking that somehow (by divine intervention?) that the air-con will be fixed.

How about Hiro? Since you are watching Heroes and the car will be taking you from place to place (in a short time, you hope).
Hey Melinda,
Nice blog! We are very impressed with your technological abilities.
Tim thinks you should call the car 'Tim Junior' or TJ for short, he says you can give him the chocolate bar in August when we are back in Australia.
Have fun,
love Aimee and Tim
I like it Kev, and being a Toyota, the car is Japanese too!
Well, it should definitely be a male name... but I wouldn't go for Jonah - it's a Japanese car, not a German shepherd... so Bernie also wouldn't work... mmmm... I'll keep thinking... On the other hand - as long as he doesn't have any tattoos - almost any name will do...
i would agree with kev with the name 'hiro', though i guess at this point in time, ur teleporting skills in this car need a bit more practice.

Hmm
I as a none-car lover, they pollute the air, make noise and smells,.. I would think a name would give a bad thing an identity. And I am not sure I am willing to do that.
But if you want to give it a name let it be a name that compensate all the bad things. Just like one person did for us all.
I think you can guess the name.
Yeah Hiro would be his a.k.a. name. But his real name should be.......
Hi Melinda,
i think you have way too much time on your hands since you got back home.
when you coming to visit your new "nephew"?
Love

It looks like a boy car and thus needs a boy's name. How about Nemo? Or Molecule?
In his legendary cowboy movies, John Wayne's character always called his dog "Dawg". Therefore, by not-so-scientific inference, you should call your car "Car" or "Steel" or "le Car" or "Das Auto" (for a European feel). Ha! Ha!
i got this by email from Nat and had to post it for everyone to read. Trust a high school friend to remember something like this:
Hmmm, I'm thinking "Joey" after the one you liked from NKOTB
Do I win?
You think WAZZA is a weird name, I know...but since you are in Australia, it is a very Australian name, and once you move back to China, you can reffer to you photos of the car as, "This WAZZA car I used to drive"...
I think "Blue Steel" might be appropriate!
The name should definitely be something in finnish! ;) Like one of the nicknames we have for cars, like "kaara" or even something more exotic - "hyrysysy"! :D
But Joey sounds also great...
