Gina seems a fine name for an Alfa Romeo. However, I drive a black Spider Veloce that goes by the name of "Fabio."

This car, like all my cars, was named for me. I am not sure that this name has ever hit the mark. I heard that Fabio was gay (after all these years!). While I am not quite sure about the orientation of my Alfa I do know that it would probably look quite decent on the cover of the average Romance novel. A little small, perhaps, but good.

I did have another however that was expertly named for me. I once drove a Toyota MR2 that had been decommisioned by the Menards Racing Team. This essentially meant that the car had been de-contented of all creature comforts (save a kicker stereo), chipped up and lowered. The name of this care was "Bruce" as in "Lee."

Bruce was small, violent and powerful.

I wish he was still around to kick Fabio's butt.
