10 Oct 00 - 10:11 PM (#315941) Subject: Mrrzy's 'Mobile Martina From: Mrrzy I had a midlife crisis, or something, and bought a NEW car!!! I still can't believe it. A 2001 (!) Toyota Corolla. She's (I think it's a she, I'm not quite sure yet) black, and is, I'm told, not a Mom car. I've named her Martina, after the tennis player, because she's strong and has a definite masculine side. Which is why I'm reserving judgment on whether she might not, after all, be a he... Anyway, I'm pleased as Punch, and need some Martina songs. I can think of Henry Martin, but I can't think of even any Martine (French) songs... |

For example, the 66 T-Bird in the alley garage is "Queenie".......She's a true garage queen knowing far more about the garage than she does about the road. We have a nice Astro Conversion van named "Lola" as in "What Lola wants, Lola gets"......In the mid-70's I owned (or was owned by) a Jag E-Type known as "Bitch Kitty" and one of my 'Vettes was called "Fuckin' Pig"............Where did you get Martina fer chrissakes?

11 Oct 00 - 01:43 PM (#316355) Subject: RE: BS: Mrrzy's 'Mobile Martina From: Mrrzy Spaw, where you say: A) All cars are women. B) All cars should have names. C) Names should relate to the car and not the owner. And there is no fear of my ever singing anything tainted by Barbra Streisand to anyone, if I tried I think I would sulk and stall too! So, other than the interesting creep about what people name their important objects or cars, any other Martina songs? Or is that one of those names not famed in song and story?

I later had a 1974 Dodge van which I named Little Brown Jug. For some reason I haven't named my last two vehicles.

Current is a blue Toyota named John Lee. I don't agree that all cars are female;, most are but what about those huge 4x4 double cab pickups? Mr. had one I called the BigBlackBastard. For years I tried to hire someone to drive it off a cliff. |
