Meet "Black Aggie"

So I wanted to name her Maggie, but the kids didn't like it. We brainstormed and Victoria came up with "Black Aggie". She's named after my favorite childhood ghost story. You can read all about it here. Hopefully she doesn't end up giving me too much grief! (Steve's joke, not mine) Considering her shiny black exterior and that the Honda website describes the new Odyssey as "Aggressively Designed", I think "Black Aggie" is an awesome name.

Nothing more exciting than a new vehicle! Victoria picked out an awesome name.

Nice! (And I agree: Victoria picked a great name.)

[this is good]

Very nice! Are you gonna transfer the rear-view mirror stuff from your old van? Nathan would be very impressed at how shiny the wheels are.

Fantastic name!

very cool name!

i just peeped your old post, too. beautiful pictures.

Oooh, I like its "aggressive" styling. That's one hot minivan!

Very cool and love the name! Frank refers to my Pilot as the Mickey Mobile!

[this is good]

Sweet! I can't wait to hear how fast it goes - looks pretty sleek!

Very nice! I like how the front end is a little more squared off - it makes it look a little less minivanish.

I have a fondness for Aggies -- it was the mascot where Todd did his bachelor's.

Purty, and it looks really roomy! How's the gas mileage?

Awesome. My mom bought the same van about 10 days ago, 'cept hers is an ugly dark reddish purple. :)

Nice! If a minivan could be sexy, this would be it ;)

Yeah, I must admit I'm pretty excited this time around. I was sad when I went from my Jeep Cherokee to my first minivan.

Yeah, I love the name and I really do call it that. People are going to think I'm crazy!

I'm debating whether to transfer the junk. I tried to at the dealership, but Steve caught me. I think I'll at least hang my "Stitch" back up when I find him in the garbage bag of stuff leftover from the old van.

I really want to go back to that cemetary and take more pictures. So many beautiful graveyard statues. It really is a forgotten art. Maybe Steve will have a copy of "Black Aggie" made for my grave one day.

Yeah, I think one of the thing I like best about it is that it's kinda tough looking. Not your typical minivan. I still dream of the days when I can drive a nice little sedan or get my dream car, an old Jeep Wagoneer with wood panels.

Your name totally fits your van! Now I just have to get Steve to take us back to Disney World so I can get a new Stitch head for my antenna. My old one flew off on a windy day last fall.

Well, I know it goes 55. My kids accuse me of driving like a grandma, so Steve will have to test out how fast she goes.

Sadly, it is still a minivan. Like I said, I'll get my little car one day. I'm just glad it seats eight. Now I can actually let the kids have a friend over after church because we have room in the van for them.

Ok, I've heard of the Aggies, but I have no clue as to what college they are the mascot is. Me, I've always like Wake Forest. Seriously, how awesome is the mascot name, "Demon Deacons"?

It's very roomy, even the third seat, which is great for the 3 youngest kids. So far it's getting 4 more miles per gallon than the old van. Of course, gas prices have gone up 10 cents a gallon since I bought it, so it's not much help!

The kids wanted the reddish purple or the blue. At first, I was just going to go for silver, like I had before, but I fell in love with the black. It's a color you don't see too often as far as minivans go.

It's definetely not as sexy as Steve's old car, but it's still kinda sexy for a minivan!

it's true... those old statues are so wonderful... but only during the daytime. they creep me the heck out at night. hehe.

i'm not sure i've seen a "real" cemetary where i live. the ones i've been to all look like a park where people laugh and play. all the tombstones are in the ground and if you're looking for a specific one, they're damn near impossible to find. heh.

That might be difficult since there's no antenna on the new van.

I was voting for the blue also, but was told I could have a say in it when I started making the monthly payments. :) Theirs is the 7seater model though.
