My grandmother named our coupe Gallopin' Gertie and the sedan Ole' Henry, both having to do with her parents. After about 3 years of me driving the sedan, the steering wheel has come off while driving down the road, the transmission blew apart on a tour (and the olds guy in the club give me crap about it saying I don't know how to drive a model a, even though I can double clutch 10x better than them), the engine crapped out on a tour, numerous blown head gaskets, the fan went through the radiator, and the right rear wheel came off while going down the highway on the way to my prom with my girlfriend and her friend in it. All of this happened while I was driving, and of course when anybody else drove it, the car ran fine. So i've dubbed the sedan, "El Diablo."
