Today would normally be, "Guilty Pleasure Day" but I am excited to announce...making wierd drumroll sound currently,

This is how it's gonna work. Below will be a picture of a car I have chosen for my MC, Micah.  Considering how often he will be in his "ride" the car needs a nickname and rear view mirror object of some sort.  I will also post a few deatils on MC Micah and there is an entire chapter to read from his POV to boot.  To read the Prologue rough draft please click My Writing at the top.  (to navigate back here click the HOME link at the top of that page)

Mirror: Fuzzy Dice -or-
Dash: Bobble-head Vegas Showgirl

Falen said...

Nickname: Jessica

Christina Lee said...

How about Rosie with some kind of lightening rod?

Okay ... Entry #2 ...

Nickname: "Elvis" (From the movie "Viva Las Vegas" and again, a play on the fact the car is a Chevy Vega).

Same fuzzy dice from the mirror, or a bobblehead Vegas showgirl on the dash or back deck.

Nickname --Roxy

Hanging from the mirror --Silver metal cutout outline of a girl sitting (You see them on the mud flaps of big trucks.)

I vote for "Jezabelle" cuz that car's got some ATTITUDE, and it's gotta be a dolphin air freshener because he's macho enough to be secure with the fact that it's cute and it smells good and it was right by the checkout at the gas station.

1. Hot Stuff / Clunker

2. a plush butterfly on the dash or glass one hanging from the mirror

WAIT! I have to change mine! Choice #1 for the car: The Defiant. It's the name of my friend Tina's Camry and that car is EPIC and so well-loved but a perfect buy/sell situation has come into her lap so the Defiant is going to new hands. I'm going to miss it so much and the name seriously needs to be immortalized!!!!

Ha ha thanks Zellie!!!


1. Even though Zellie already said it, Defiant, definitely! :-D

2. An air freshener that says "I'm a pirate and this is my ship" with a skull and crossbones cause that's what's hanging in my Defiant. ;-)

-Tina

Okay, so the dashboard really needs to have one of those old compasses that looked like a ball, floating in water. My grandpa used to have one.

The name of the car should be Antonio. Character should a big fan of the movie Desperado, so as a tribute to Mr. Banderas he named his car after him.
