Rock and Roll Car

What if car names were like rock band names? What kind of music would your rock and roll car play?

Sonoma (GMC)? Definitely something with a horn section, and a stand-up bass.

Jetta (VW)? …would play some hard and heavy licks like “Are You Gonna Be My Girl?”.

Impala (Chevy)? Probably would play some otherworldly rarities with a deep baritone singer and a tambourine.

Faster (Isuzu)? Oh yeah, you know this one is the speed metal band car (truck) of all rock and roll cars.

Wizard (also Isuzu)? This one has an obvious fantasy metal band vibe.

Catalina (Pontiac)? Mellow island music. No question.

Jimny (Suzuki)? That’s not a hard one. It would play some blistering, bluesy guitar solos.

Sesto Elemento (Lambo)? Moody alternative rock would come out of this one.

Honcho (Jeep)? Probably a country/western type, don’t you think?

Corsair (Ford)? Electronic music of some kind. Some type of music that sounds like the future, at times gritty and edgy, and other times smooth and melodic.

The above are only a handful of the car models out there. This list could go on for days and days. But what fun would it be for you if I commented on all of them. So now it’s your turn. You can even play this game while driving around. Have fun with it.

This is where I'm supposed to brag about how I've written seven novels, twelve screenplays, thousands of short stories, four self-help books, and one children's early-reader, but I'd rather stay humble. You can find out about things I've written or follow my barchive (web archive, aka 'blog) at xenosthesia.com or follow me on twitter @kurt_gailey. I love sports and music and books, so if you're an athlete or in a band or you're a writer, give me a follow and I'll most likely follow you back. I've even been known to promote other people's projects.
