<VV> car names and fuzzy dice

[Bryan Blackwell]

I don't think I ever posted this story, so for those of you who aren't 
members of Corvanatics or my local club, here's my example of how cars 
get names.  Imagine "Red Brier" as a character from "Gone with the 
Wind" for best effect.  The refrigerator is, of course, Edward G. 
Robinson.  "Blue" is the pleasant but slightly manipulative motherly 
type, perhaps Aunt Bea.
