What you are looking at is a postcard we had made to hand out to the mass of fans we should encounter during La Carrera, clamoring for autographs. And if not, we're good on Christmas cards this year. When we first bought the car, one of the things we noticed was that there was an alien head sticker or a Grayling for you Area 51 fans, on the back window of the Chevelle. This was significant, in that it gave us a means to name the car. I think this is a good story. There was a guy from Mexico who worked at the shop, so I asked "How do you say UFO or flying saucer in Spanish"? He was a little perplexed by this, and didn't quite get what I meant. Finally, after a bit more coaxing, he got a big smile of understanding on his face, and said "Apaches"!! Whoa, oh man, that goes deep into the psyche of a Mexican, way back when Apaches came across the border and and took a few pilgrims to Planet Arizona. I thought it was a great answer.
