5 months later, still seems like a nice car. The roommate really likes it. Has one of those screens your phone can connect to, and a camera to assist with reversing into the garage etc.

Of course, the roommate didn't like it enough to not hit one of those concrete logs (no idea what they're called) they put in parking lots at the end of parking spaces, cracked the bottom of the front bumper up a bit--not major structural damage, of course, but noticeable. Nothing I couldn't fix in 15 minutes with the right tool and a couple zip ties, though, neither of which I have.

Still not sure why people name their cars, and it doesn't seem to be limited (or universal) to men, either. The manager at work I like calls her SUV "The Beast", while most of the guys at work never bothered to give theirs any sort of nickname at all. Seems to be a tradition for naval vessels, but for cars the best I can figure is that they sorta take the place of a draft animal or mount in the modern age, and it's pretty universal to give your animal a name.
(Possible interesting aside, I have found that men that don't own cars for whatever reasons but DO own gaming PCs give their "rig" or "battle station" a name, whereas I never bothered to do so for any of my PCs.)

If you would have told them Tetanus was a Greek god, you would have been a bit more correct--I ended up being curious just what the etymology was so I looked it up, it comes from an ancient Greek word meaning "to stretch". Yes, for world-building purposes I am in the habit of occasionally looking up words to see if I can come up with a name for a character, vehicle, location, planet, faction, etc. based off the word or its ancient origins.
None of that makes up for the fact that people don't know what tetanus actually is, although it seems rare enough nowadays that most people thankfully don't need to know outside of "rusty nail bad".
