Cars Named After Horses
I was trying to think the other day about how many different cars are named after horses. The two that came to my head right away were the ford mustang and the Porsche, but for some reason at the time I couldn’t think of too many others. I know there are bound to be a whole bunch more out there but for some reason I just can’t think of them. It makes sense that we name cars after horses, because horses bring up images of cowboys speeding away on them. We still use the term horse power, and about how the cars can have a bit of a “kick” to them. It’s amazing how even in today’s society, we’re still in love with the old west and don’t even realize it.
