Name that Vehicle!

Well last week I said farewell to the old car. It had "character" but there were parts of his character that drove me nuts! Don't shut down when I hit the brakes hard! It causes the power steering to fail, which is dangerous! Don't get all wet on the inside when it rains! I don't like floors that squish with moisture! Don't make a mold factory of your trunk! I have stuff in there that I want to USE! Anyways, other than those quirks, he was fun. But it was time for something new. And here it is! Which of these cars is mine?



You guessed right - the one that I'm leaning up against (see picture below). I'm not sure what my pose means... maybe "YES! I'm driving in style AT LAST! Thank You, Lord!" It's a 2003 Toyota ist (also called the Scion in North America). It runs, looks and feels NEW! The interior's black but hopefully it won't be TOO hot in the summer. (The other car in the picture, by the way, belongs to my roommate, Rob.) Someone asked me if I had named the new car, and I said, "No, not yet. But I know one thing... it's a girl!" I plan on treating it real good... no rough treatment like the Pulsar got! So... anyone got ideas for a name?

３年半、平成４年式のニッサン・パルサーが僕と付き合ってくれたことを感謝します。けど、やっぱり色んな問題点があって、抹消することを決めた。急にブレーキを踏んだらエンジンが切ったり、雨の時、床がビショビショになったり、トランクにカビがひどくなったり、困っていました。けど、神様の導きでこの素晴らしい車が与えられた。（まぁ、無料ではなかったけど、すべての良いものは主から来るよね！）とにかく、新車は平成１５年式のトヨタ・イストです。内外超キレイで運転すると気持ちイイ！皆さんもいつか乗ってみませんか？それから、車に名前を付けたいからそれも考えてね！前の車は男だったけどこのキレイな車は女性ですよ！
