Well, I named the GE.  It seemed appropriate for a car that combines 
high style and equally high performance.

On the other hand, I never named either of my other V8Qs or my QSW, or 
the Scirocco, or my ''66 Corvette, or the '65 Turbo Corvair Corsa 
Coupe, or either of the VW KGs (the '56 or the '59 with the Judson 
supercharger), or the '57 bug or the '50 Buick.  Nor that drop dead 
gorgeous burgundy '64 Caddy convertible with paint so deep you wanted 
to dive into it and spotless white leather interior and white top, or, 
for that matter, the '66 Smashing BRG Lincoln Continental Coupe that I 
glommed onto when I returned from beautiful downtown SEA, back in '71.

I did name the '64 rambler (he cringes at the admission) that I got for 
transportation when I was playing poker for a living (6 months) back in 
'71/72, that one was the "White Whale" (note conspicuous absence of the 
adjective, "Great"); and the '66 plymouth Valiant that got me from 
Dallas to Annapolis, after holding the second best hand one night 
convinced me to return to the real world.  That one was known as the 
"Owl" for reasons that I cannot recall for the life of me.  (I'm old, I 
forget things...)

What were we talking about...?
