This morning I will be making a pit stop at my local Chevrolet dealership to scoop up the Malibu I am going to be driving for the month.
Rumor has it that said car will have neither:
1. Goldfish crumbs
2.Sippy cup stains inside its interior.
Sigh.
There has been a little discussion around the casa de phillips supper table the past few nights as to what to name the Malibu. I firmly believe that everything needs a name (just ask my college roomies who went along with my plan to name our cars, thus creating the infamous “LaHonda Sisters”). The children have come up with some great names, but nothing has been decided as of yet.
Do you name your car?
If so, what?
As you ponder car naming 101, let me tell you about some exciting giveaways GottaLoveChevyDFW is hosting for the month of September:
- Girlfriend Getaway to Chicago: Who doesn’t love getting away with their girlfriends for a relaxing weekend? Beginning September 2nd, you can register to win a Girlfriend Getaway for two to Chicago, IL. The package includes a $2,500 JNR Incorporated travel voucher. The travel voucher is redeemable for travel services from JNR Incorporated and is valid from one year from the date it is received and has no value upon expiration. The voucher is good for the winner and one guest.
- Pick Your Purse Sweepstakes: This giveaway involves free purses. Expensive free purses. Can I get an “Amen”? Beginning September 2nd, you can register to win a $1,000 American Express gift certificate to purchase a designer purse of your choice by registering on the DFW Facebook Fan page, www.facebook.com/gottalovechevydfw.
If I were you, I would immediately enter to win both of these great giveways.
Just sayin’.
As part of this month long experiment, I am going to be making a few videos about my experiences and about life in general. Check out my first video, one I have secretly titled: “Lynley gets a bit out of control with her video editing software.”

The Girlfriend Getaway is being sponsored by Chevy dealers who gave chosen bloggers a 2010 Chevy Malibu to test drive for one month and blog about experiences with the car. Girlfriend Getaway has given the bloggers fun projects to complete and gift cards with which to accomplish said projects.

Love the video…and the outtake at the end
My burgundy Jeep Liberty is “Ronnie” (no, not named after your father). burgundy color > Ron Burgundy (Anchorman) > Ronnie
My previous car, a Nissan Maxima, was Maxine. May she rest in peace.
How did you do the video editing and adding in the graphics?
After a moment of panic when I realized the format of my Flip videos would not work with Windows Movie Maker, my sweet husband ran out and purchased Pinnacle Studio HD for me. I edited the video in that. It was actually very user-friendly and I was able to teach myself as I worked on the video
You now can add mini movie director to your list:-) This looks like such a fun project!
