Chevy? Mali? Chase?

I may be turning 17 instead of 27, but I totally just made my biggest adult purchase to date last night!  I purchased a (gently) used 2009 Chevy Malibu with only 14,880 miles.  It's blue and shiny with chrome accents.  Four door, grey interior, cloth seats, and apparently I have satellite radio for a while!  The irony of the satellite radio is that I don't get BBC Radio 1, the one station I want, but I do get Fox News, the one station I don't want!  But you can't win 'em all :)

So I picked the Chevy up tonight and they'd filled up the tank, waxed the car and made it all shiny and pretty.  I love it.  The only bad thing is...it's not my Jeep.  After 7 years in the jeep I got somewhat attached.  Some people might argue a little too attached, but whatever.  I get to visit him though, because he'll be living with my parents in his old age.  Anyway, he gave me 7 good years in the mountains and now that I'm in the flatlands (i.e. the Piedmont) it's okay to give up the 4wd.  So I found the Chevy and fell in love!  It's going to take some getting use to because I'm lower to the ground and the back window is smaller, but I have time :)

But the big dilemma is...what do I name him!?  (All my cars are/will be male.)  My '94 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme and first car ever was named Mikey.  The '04 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland is Will.  So what to call the blue '09 Malibu?  Chevy (like Chase) the Chevy?  Mali?  Chase instead of Chevy, but still similar to Chevy and Chevy?  Or something preppy like a Mikey or Will...which I guess Chase would satisfy.  But Chase is kind of geeky.  I have a feeling it's going to be Chevy (like Chase).  I'll test it out on him this weekend.

This post is so pointless, but amazing at the same time.  YAY new car!  I use to joke that if you knew me, you were either going to get a new car or engaged.  Looks like I got the car :)
