Someone asked me what I was going to name her. I jokingly said "I dunno how 'bout Lenore." It's Raven black, so I was going for a Poe reference.
I was really was just joking about the name, when I said it. But, the more I thought about it, the more I liked it. Now it's stuck.

I've never really named any of my cars before. My '91 MR-2 was sometimes referred to as Mr.Two... But think they ALL were. My '85 RX-7 was kinda sorta called Rex, but it never stuck.

Both of those were nicknames. But Lenore IS Lenore. She's a character with personality. Since I've started referring to her as Lenore, I really like the idea of have a name other than "my car"
