As I didn't get a chance to check my mail this weekend and am catching up
on my mail, please excuse the tardiness of this message...

I've always felt that my cars needed to *earn* a name.  The personality of
the car...the way I used it (and abused it), etc.  The patterns needed to
be established.  Every name (er, both names) has an explanation.  So, the
envelope please...

'94 Mustang GT Convertible ==> Flexible Flyer.  Fast, fun, eibachs/konis +
subframe connectors still left the car twisty!  The most sled like car I'd
driven at that point.

'98 A4q 2.8 ==> The Road Warrior.  Almost a year old.  Used for many road
trips (when looking for an old 911).  Just the right size for a long trip
for two, regardless of road conditions, of course.

'72 911T ==>  Not in the stable long enough to get a name.  Lotsa
personality, though, so the name should be easy!
