Every car I've owned has been named after a color, but not the color that the car is, because that would be too normal, I guess. My first car was an orange-ish gold that I named Ruby; my next car was blue and named Esmeralda, and my current car is beige and named Violet. I also have a yard penguin. I'm not sure what it was originally supposed to be. Maybe a Christmas decoration, but it is about 2-and-a-half-foot tall penguin statue that is named Fitzgerald. I dress him up for holidays like some people do with geese on their porches and it amuses the old man next door. I have a little duck on a swing that hangs from my rearview mirror in my car named Dorcas and a T-rex post-it note holder named Thesaurus "Theo."
