New Car Name....
Well, the contest to name my new car ended last night. It has taken me a while to decide what name best suited my new Element. There were several great suggestions...my favorites are below:
Cu -- by mysteryhouse
Randompod -- by gypsytda
Orangeonium -- by Nanook
Celeste -- by James
Bunsen -- by erika's daddy
pumpkin/punkin -- by JoeBoxer and dogonets
Heisenberg -- also by dogonets
Marie -- by schwemmdog
The entry that best suited my new car was actually submitted by three different people. Two of them came at essentially the same time: one via my post on elementownersclub.com, and the other via email. So... I decided to split the prize between the two of them. I will be contacting gemini and madskier to let them know that "Beaker" was the name I chose for my little SOP (Sunset Orange Pearl) Element.
I have always thought that Beaker was one of the coolest Muppets there was, right along with his cohort Dr. Bunsen Honeydew. He fits the image of my new car pretty well (even though he is a "he"): orange, a little unusual looking, and surprisingly resilient, and the science background works for me as well.
I am now looking to purchase a set of these little figures to grace my dashboard in honor of my name selection:

Perfect! Considering the fact that you look a bit like Bunsen, and Beaker has an Orange Flattop, just like your Element. (So much for the St. Bernards!)

After the Swedish Chef Beaker is my favorite Muppet, other than Kermit he's the only sane one.
The California Adventure's 3-D Muppet movie revolves around one of Dr. Honeydew's inventions getting loose.
Anyway - excellent name.

Beaker is a cool name - my fav muppet! I saw your car, well, not your car, but one just like it. The color is really unique! I like it!
