RX350

     Here it is:

     I like the black-and-white look. 

     The car needs a name and I'm not sure what to call it; I have named recent cars after science-fictional space ships: my Hyundai Accents were "The Hot Needle Of Inquiry," "The Hotter Needle Of Inquiry," and "The Even Hotter Needle Of Inquiry," followed by "The Skylark Of Space" for the RX300.  "Skylark II" is pretty obvious; I thought about "Discovery One" but I don't want the onboard computer to get any ideas.

    Very cool wheels. I hope it doesn't disappoint you in reliability, just like the earlier vehicle.

    First car I ever named is the one I have now -- a black '06 Ford Five Hundred I call Louella, aka The Midnight Special.

    Not sure I can offer much in specific names, but I can offer you a list of fictional spaceship names from which to choose.

    No offense, for my mind wanders in oft-silly ways, but I personally would go with Spaceball One.

    Since it's black and white, you can call it "The Star Wars Storm Trooper," and hope it never hits anything.

    Of course it's only coincidence that it's an RX350, which is now owned by..."R"oberta "X", right?

    But if you haul the good lady Keel ("T"amara) around in it once in a while you could call it the T-RX ("Tee Arr Ex"), or just the T-Rex for short.

    Duuno, but I think I would go with Serendipity.

    I don't know if this is taunting Murphy but a ship name from the Lensman parody "Backstage Lensman" would fit: the "Dentless"

    Discovery is a good name. "I'm sorry Roberta, I can't open the garage door." (That is very unlikely)

    The other question - aside from the name - is, "Are you going to install a HAM radio?"
