Busy Day Today

My wife's 1994 Honda Odyssey died 2 weeks ago, with 280,000 miles on it, and we have been looking for a replacment.

Well, we settled on a 2009 Mazda5 mini-minivan with about 36K miles on it. It seats 6, but is a somewhat smaller than our old Odyssey, and much smaller than what the Odyssey has grown into since.

It has a rather un-minivan-ish feel to it, and it drives nicely.

My wife is now pondering a name for it.

My though is that it's an inanimate object, so just call it a car.
