I HAVE A CAR, HELP ME NAME HER

I now have a(n un)sexy ride!

She's a black 1994 Toyota Corolla, and she is my baby. She is just as hardcore as I am. Power windows and locks? Those are for pussies. Sunroof? Pish posh! I have no need of such luxury. (She does, however, have sexy tinted windows.)

She also has quirks. For example, sometimes the radio will randomly decide to increase the volume all on its own until I battle it downwards. It's fun!

As always, of course, it's what's under the hood that counts. This engine is a beauty and is in way better condition than some 1998 and even 2000 Corollas I've looked at. I bought it off a guy who makes a part-time living off of buying cars, fixing them up, and re-selling them, so he knows how to do a good job. To wit: Corollas have a problem with the exhaust manifold cracking. He went and replaced it. It's had a lot of maintenance done already (i.e. timing belt was recently replaced). This is great to me because it means I don't have to worry about it for a while. Huzzah! This car is clean, hasn't deployed its airbags, and has a few love dings from other Nashville drivers but is otherwise in fabulous shape.



Of course, this baby is 15 years old. And it does have over 200k miles. Which is why I got her for cheap!

I intend to take good care of her for the next year I'm here. I expect she may die by the time I leave, but I'm fine with that. If she's still alive, I'll sell her and buy a Grown Up car.



Now that you've met her, you should know that I will be ACCEPTING YOUR VERY OWN NAME IDEAS. Because she is black and sexy, something like Adonishia. It could also be something that humorously reflects what one might presume about the car, like Deathtrap.

So come on, y'all. Name my girl!
