My Silver Clarity is known throughout my circle of friends and coworkers as: The Silent Gray Fellow. It may be long but even my 12 and 14 year old daughters call the Clarity Silent Gray Fellow. Hahahahahaha
Our silver "Claire" is also know as George's car (me being George), as in George Jetson (1962-3 cartoon on ABC).
