I thought we covered the name thing in a previous thread :huh:

Did we? :huh:

If we did, it was long enough ago that I don't remember... Of course I don't remember what I had for breakfast either....

BTW, my car has always been referred to a "The turquoise car".

I often refer to the cars in the stable by their color rather than their make or model. I don't know where I picked that up.... My truck is the "big red truck"

Well after reading the posts I have to get mine out there for ya'll. My present Runner is named "Pearl" for the Pearl White paint color on the car. So I am not the only one that names their cars after the cars color.

I saw it...just wasn't sure what you were trying to say... "Ray la locura" literally means "Ray the madness"...so I figured that you inadvertently left out a verb or preposition... If you were going for "Ray's madness (or insanity)" then it would be "La locura del Ray"...

I did better than high school spanish; I took it for a year @ Kent State when I started traveling to South America regularly in the mid-nineties. I can for damn sure order a meal, an adult beverage, and get a cabbie to take me to the airport... :basketcase:

Locura can mean folly so that is correct. But it would still be "La locura del Ray"... :yesnod: :D :yesnod:
