relay switch hookup

I need to tap into a basic 12v circuit in the engine bay for a relay I'm wiring up. Basically just needs to have power when the car is running. Any quick ideas of which system would be best to hook up to?

Bump. Any quick ideas? I haven't had the time to really take a good look and map out which wires are which in the engine bay.

I guess you can use one of the abundant pink/black wires to power the relay. It'll be hot in run & start, & I believe it comes from the 10A gages fuse.
