Naming your car is a karmic thing.
Case in point, I have not even thought about a name for my TR10 that is now in transit to California. Probably won't name it until after I drive it down the street, wheich could be months from now.
Isildir, my TR3, is celt for "brat". I named her that after I noticed that she set off car alarms around her whenever I started her up.
On the other hand, Katrina, my Vanguard, was named after the hurricane because it took 6 weeks to get her shipped to me because all the trucks were taking trailers to New Orleans.
Yes, I am from California.
