My new car named itself!

A weird thing happened yesterday. 2 weeks ago I got a new car (ok so it is used, but new to me) that has a navigation system in it. I went to Dallas to the airport yesterday and it was a perfect time to try out the system. It was great, telling me when to turn etc. After it would talk I would say "thankyou". My Mom was in the car and said we need to name the voice LOL. She then says, I think it should be Mildred. Mildred! Where did that come from? No, I didn't like that name, so after a long discussion I call it Daisy (Driving Miss Daisy). Later that night, while driving home I hit an armadillo and get a flat tire (of course it is raining by this point!) I get of the highway and after I get the tire changed, I decide to take a different route home since I didn't want to drive as fast as I was on the highway. I turn on "Daisy" and reroute my directions, and I kid you not the screen said .... wait for it.... MILDRED! Turns out the next town from where I was is called MILDRED. Freaky, so the navigaion voice on the car is now called MILDRED! Very freaky.

That is a weird concidence. My mom called her car 'Buck". It was a buick, and the 'I' had fallen off where it was spelled out in the back. Another friend had a white minivan- called it Vanna White.

Too funny! (cue spooky music!)

My DSIL used to have a car named TOOT because it was a TOYOTA and the Y and A had fallen off.
