I think every one of my cars has had a name. My first car, a 1970 Toyota Corolla with an engine in it that was about two sizes too big for it, started off white, I had my boyfriend paint it black in auto shop class. The car was named Clyde. Then there was my AMC Eagle (yeah, I owned one) named Sam. My 1984 Vega named Greta. The Geo Metro named Jet. The 1990 Toyota 4Runner named Adventurine. The 1978 Toyota FJ40 Landcruiser named Deshret (Ancient Egyptian for ‘Red’. The 1992 Toyota mini pickup truck named Thurston, and then my current car, a 2009 Chevy Cobalt named Ganesha – the Remover of Obstacles and the Opener of the Way. 😉
