My new car's name is ....

We name our cars in the order of the alphabet, alternating boy/girl. This car was to be a girl's name beginning with a 'K.' I chose "Kirsten" because it reminds me of St. Lucia Day, the point in time when it became abundantly clear that I needed a new car. We started celebrating St. Lucia's day because Fiona had an American Girl Kirsten doll, and the books explained the customs.
I drove Kirsten to work today (managing to kill the engine because I let the clutch out at the wrong speed only once) and introduced her to the parking garage where she's going to be hanging out during the day. I patted her dashboard fondly as I left. I think we're going to get along great.
