Mary Ann

I was talking to my friend Dave and telling him what a good car my 2015 Lexus ES 350.  Reliable, good looking colors in and out (silver and black), and should last a long time.

So he asked me "Have you named her?"

I thought for a minute, having just watched Gone in 60 Seconds and thinking of "Eleanor" so it was an easy choice...

Spelled the common way, like the good girl on Gilligan's Island, it's really named after my godmother Marianne who was a long time friend of my late mother.  Marianne was married to  Sterling McCall, one of the first Toyota dealers in the US in the 1960s and who went on to become very successful.

I thought it was an inspired choice!
