It is a thing, though, and your webseries is early on it. I added the links for those without the knowledge. It was a slow day at work. :) (I was hoping someone would make that connection.) No, no subtext there; I used the names but not the qualities of the alcohol.<br /><br />I figured something like that had been done. I was aiming to capture the essence, though the Lamborghini Gallardo as Fluttershy came out of left field.<br /><br />Oddly, it was an effort to find names for the American cars. The German ones had perfectly serviceable names.Scott Delahunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735796666483741699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464382918796251124.post-56235198121025092032013-01-22T21:42:34.159-05:002013-01-22T21:42:34.159-05:00I'm delayed in making comments, but this one d...I'm delayed in making comments, but this one deserves a jump in the queue... first, okay, I had no idea that my web series was actually part of an ongoing trend. Second, wow, you're clever - not knowing so much about cars, I'm sure there's nuances I don't get. (Though I did pick up on Barbie.) Third, it makes me wonder if there's additional subtext now to "Guardians of the Gem". ;)<br /><br />Finally, can't help but note that girls as names of cars has been done before. Not as actual representations, more in-name only, but it's another reason that Magical Lyrical Nanoha is awesome. Here's the character list: http://nanoha.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Characters<br /><br />Keep an eye out for Precia Testarossa, Signum, Subaru, Teana (the tsundere), Zest, and many others.Gregory Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547180132612659893noreply@blogger.com
