that makes sense. but for the record, whenever i was your name, in my head, i read it like "mights" or "mitas" (like midas), not my-ts...
i'm so good... also, the other car is known as "Avis" :

When I bought my white AU sedan it was affectionately named "Fat Albert" being essentially a fatter/heavier carbon copy of Swordsman88's white EF sedan - the name was given when we sat down and realised that both cars used essentially the same engine, drivetrain, rear suspension design etc.
The guys at work then got wind of the name and renamed my car with the more girly version of "Alberta". :hihi:

I always called my 68 XT Fairmont just "XT" as i could never think of a name i was happy with. But since i bought a BA XT, calling it "XT" just gets confusing to people, so i now call it "my old ford". I am still yet to think of a human name to call it, as it should have. lol
