Cars. I remain convinced that, sometimes, entire shows are made just to feature a car.
Smokey and the Bandit without a Trans Am? Forget it.
Bullitt?
The Gumball Rally?
Knight Rider? If you spend enough time in your car, chances are good you’re gonna name it.
My Dad had a 1966 Rambler named Betsy, which according to some lists is a very popular name for cars. My Dad wasn’t a list-follower; he named the car after a horse he’d had back on the farm in Saskatchewan in the early 1930s. As Betsy got a little long in the tooth – the car, not the horse – my Dad got kinder and gentler with her. Even with a new car parked alongside, he had a hard time letting her go.
