Greetings,
On the subject of naming cars, I am in agreement with the thought
that the car will suggest its own name. Consider my '93 Esprit.
It's red, has nice curves, attracts a lot of attention, and it has
an Aggie** (graduate of Texas A&M) inside. During my first drive, I
heard a soft voice saying "Julia". Upon pondering the similarities
to the red-headed Julia Roberts, I concurred.
Veering away from drawing any more potentially offensive comparisons,
I leave you with this humorous anecdote:
Last month a group of 12 exotic car owners in Boise met for a short
drive and picnic. My daily driver is a Shelby Dodge Daytona. For
Christmas, some close friends had a license plate frame for the Lotus
made up. It reads "My other car is a Dodge". Being a down-to-earth
person, I laughed and mounted it on the Lotus. Well, at this exotic
car picnic, a Viper was parked next to me...
** Lyle Lovett received both his degrees from Texas A&M.
