Avalanche

I noticed my name is embedded in the word "Avalanche". AV-ALAN-CHE. That's kinda cool huh? Well these are things I think about when I'm bored and sitting in an hour delay in traffic (yesterday!). I was behind an Avalanche truck for a good 30 minutes and saw my name staring at me.

Not sure what this means but I'm thinking I should capitalize on this. And it was the 2nd time I saw within that tedious hour...there was also some towing company next to me Avalanche towing. I'm thinking the Fates are trying to tell me something.

Then I thought it's sort of funny to name a truck after a natural disaster. It would be even funnier to name a truck or car in a manner that is a disaster a little closer to home. Sure anyone can sound cool in an Avalanche (mostly because my name is in it) or a Tsunami. But pull off something a little nerve-racking. You know, strong words but probably would make someone uneasy no matter how cool the car was. Like the Toyota Collision. Cool word but slightly uneasy for a car. Maybe the Nissan Impact or the Honda Seatbelt Failure.

Animals are also a fun car names. Jaguar, Mustang, Impala, Ram...I think they use animals that are known but slightly obscure. Like Mustang sounds better than Horse. Don't get me wrong, horses are cool but a Ford Horse...lacks pizzazz. Impala is probably better than Deer (well it's a type of Gazelle). I suppose they should say away from the Dodge Goat or the Ford Jackass although it would be appropriate for a lot of people driving them.

Anyway don't whisper too loud or I may slide all over you. Av-Alan-che!
