October 2 - Name Your Car Day

Have fun on October 2 as it is "name your car" day. Whether you have a shiny new top of line model, or if your car barely toddles down the street, give it a name.

Do you remember any family members who had specially named cars? Did you have a car earlier in your life that made great memories?

Even back in the beginning, the Ford was called the Tin Lizzie. People do become attached to their cars. Many of us spend much time in our cars and they become almost a part of ourselves. Did you ever think back at the variety of cars you've owned? Have they mostly been the same color and style? Or, did you have some little ones and some big ones and some that went fast and some that hardly made it down the road.

Did certain cars have special characteristics?

Maybe you were lucky enough to be "given" a car to drive when you were young? Had it not been that you needed wheels so badly, you wouldn't have been caught inside that car. Some of us just dealt with it and others parked a distance away.

This October 2, if you haven't already done so, take time to give the auto of your choice a special name. Whether it's Old Blue, The Speedster, Lucky, Lady, or My Dancer - just remember it's part of your personal image. Have fun and don't take life too seriously.

So long...zoom... from me and my Red Rooster.
