What are you going to call it Amy? My 2nd car was an old Honda civic called Harry - my friends thought I had a new BF when I started talking about where Harry & I went on the weekend. You must give it a name!

Oh yes Amy it must have a name. My first car was called Percy and I loved him to bits. He was bright red.

Take DD's advice and learn to change a tyre before you head out of civilisation, that is very important. Perhaps someone would like to give you RAC membership for a birthday or Christmas. I feel that is important for a young lady if they have problems.

Oh man, nobody told me it had to have a name.... erm.... ???

Thank you all for your lovely comments about my car and for sharing my excitement! ;D

Den, I will definitely take you up on your invitation as soon as I take your advice and learn to change a tyre. I'm sure there must be a screwdriver in the boot that would do the trick ;D ;D

Yes you definitely must name your car. My first was a white Gemini called ET (after that sexy rugby dude who sadly is somewhat disgraced these days) and the second Harry the Hyundai.

All cars should have names. We used to have a pink and grey Morris Major named Pinky. My Holden Rodeo ute was called Bob. We had a Ford Fairlane named Henry.

Amy - you must learn to change a tire.....my dad taught all us kids (8) to change our tires before we got our learners licence (@ age 15) and I have been thankful for knowing how...it wasn't even me that had the flat, some young 20s aged male who had no idea... :-))  (He couldn't believe a "girl" would know how to change a tire!!)

Congrats Amy. Great little car. Check out membership with RAC as it's heavily reduced for 17 year olds  (maybe even free for the first year) then 50% off for the next. Very worthwhile to have. Drive carefully but have fun.

The membership sounds like a good deal VHJ, I think we're going to call them today so I will ask ;)

You need to get a feel for your car.  You will know soon enough.  The name should match the car's "personality".
