Zack Hill by John Deering and John Newcombe for July 12, 2021

Hmm…I haven’t named any of my cars since I was 19. I had a Caddie limo that I named “Mother Bear.”

how original, Jan

When we had our Toyota Corona Mark 2, we named her Mimi.

Have you changed your mind on naming the car, Zack?

I named my first car (1969-82) George and my friend named her little Spitfire Brunhilde. Whenever we parked them together overnight, I always said I wanted the pick of the litter! All my cars since have had variations of that name—Little George (1982-1995), Georgina (1995-2010), and Georgette (2010-present).

IMHO car mechanics see a sucker immediately if he/she has named the car.

Why do you keep shouting your car’s name at other drivers, Jan?

Oh, it heard that! You’re going to want to give it a quart of oil and a pat on the trunk to make up.

My first car was a very white colored, Toyota and I named it, Frosty.

Well, it’s not the Mirth Mobile. How about the Road Rager?

and that’s dumber!

Don’t insult your car, it has feelings too…..
