# Actually, my lime-green frogeye Sprite is, as best I can remember, only
# the second of my cars ever to have a name that stuck. I named him Kermit,
# because...ah...you see, there's this frog puppet on TV... He's green, and
# has bulging eyes, and he's real cute...oh, hell...I am not worthy.
#
I'll make you feel better. My cars have always been named after
their personalities and their colors:
79 Toyota Corolla Wagon Mustard Yellow The Peril (it was)
79 Toyota Corolla Wagon Navy Blue The Meanie (")
81 Subaru Coupe White Fang
(as in "bite me!")
89 Dodge Shadow Black Friday
(the tireless companion)
65 TR4 Red Sonja
It's gotten to be a real habit. I'm looking at a white Neon right now,
but I don't know what its personality is like yet...
-MM
