Praise Gorb!

My sister was always big on naming her cars, especially in high school. Our dad was not amused. "Cars are things to get you to work, not things you work to get." He felt giving cars an emotional valence was asking for more grief than they were worth.

I never felt like naming my cars, but I should have named the Toyota Corolla I had with carpeted interior and a mix-CD of goth music stuck in the player something, because that car was something special.

I've never really named my cars either, but Sam has always been big on it. Her current car is called Charlie, and it just feels right. I like the attachment naming creates and tried to name my car, but I kept forgetting what the name was lmao.

He lives on in our memories. I had to use a stock photo because neither Sam, Gin, nor I had any photos of him lmao
