OK I too must come clean and admit that I have had no desire to name my
71B. Maybe it has something to do with being from New Jersey.(Me not the car.)
Over the last 24+ years I have used more than a few "special words" to
describe the car, especially after I have uttered the dreaded words, "oh
this should only take about 1 hr to do", and the job turns into an all day
adventure.
Besides giving the car a name at this late a date could put it into an
identity crisis. Think of the impact on the poor car's psyche! ' Why didn't
you give me a name before?' Clearly the car would become disfunctional and
need special care. Here in California we would, of course, have to
immediately set up some type of support group and a 12 step program. Recruit
activists to take up the cause. Write letters to influential people seeking
support for our fund raising efforts. Appear on Larry King, etc. Maybe John
Gray could write another book--Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, MG's
are from...
