Well I'm not really getting a new car, but close enough for me! I'm finally getting a power wheelchair so I'll be able to chase Klinkman around the apartment and across campus, lol. It'll be a nice change, as I haven't been able to wheel myself for over two years :shock: due to torn muscles in my arms. I'm really excited about it, but I've decided it needs a name, and possibly a gender. It's bright green on the bottom frame part, otherwise it's pretty non-descript. But it's awesome! Suggestions? If I get some good ones I may come up with a chip prize of some sort like I did for my signature.

Power wheelchair is legit. Did you get your insurance to pay for it? I hope so, that way it isnt just another burden. Hopefully I will see you full power in the Cherokee or Creek Nation sometime soon. I think you should call it Old Betsy, as we called the old tractor we that we used to ride down our hill; the motor didn't work but the wheels turned. So obviously Betsy would be a girl, so name her Old Betsy, that would be super nostalgic and legit.

I was hoping it was blue so you could call it "The blue meanie"
Since it is green, I have 2 for you to choose from.

"Sea of Green"

"Mr. Parker"

woof woof

I hope you got wheelie bars

When you say think on it abit, I hear the Final Jeopardy song in my head.
Now it's stuck there, curses.

The thing with "Old Betsy" Hydrotrip is that the "Sportster" is new wheels not old ones. So????? In about 20 yrs we can nickname her "Old Betsy." Okee Dokee? ;)

Sorry ringo, all the blues were pretty ugly, and I have a blue one right now...I suppose I could christen it now before it dies?

I like Sea of Green, where does Mr. Parker come from?

Since you say woof, I'll say meow!

Hehe yeah making Klink run after me will be awesome! lol knowing him though, if he can't catch up he'll just sit down and wait for me to come back to him. Thanks for the suggestion, I look forward to hearing more as you come up with them!

I am shocked you don't know the lyrics to "Yellow Submarine"

Full speed ahead, Mr. Parker, full speed ahead!
Full speed over here, sir!
Action stations! Action stations!
Aye, aye, sir, fire!
Captain! Captain!)woof

As we live a life of ease
Every one of us has all we need,(has all we need)
Sky blue, and sea green,(sky of blue and sea of green)
And a yellow(and a yellow) submarine.(submarine) ( Hahaha! )

Oh right him, of course! lol sorry I never think of him as one of the major Beatle characters. Must be a hole in me pocket!

Although now that I think about it, isn't it "Full speed ahead Mr. Boatswain"?

I suppose the Green Mean Machine would be too predictable? Congrats on the new wheelchair. I bet it will be a relief for you so it's all good.
