My car is called Rosso for short. It's named after Porco Rosso, the main character from my favorite Miyazaki movie. (That's a boy's name I guess, but screw convention, my car has no sex. It's a car.)
I'm an animator by trade, so as such, I gravitate toward inspiration from animation. Porco Rosso's a pig who pilots a red airplane. To me, he represents freedom, and contradictory impossibility (flying pig).
