People keep telling me I should name my race car. And it used to have a name. Back before Pete died. His car was the Mirage and mine was (something else). I also thought of calling it the Mirage 2. But that reminds me too much of Pete and while it's okay to think of him and let him inspire me, it still hurts to remember him and to know he'll never see another race I drive again-- and I won't even get to see him drive. My car doesn't look a whole like like his, though all us Briggs use silver as our color-- though now dad has to use blue and gold-- those are his sponsor colors. He still manages to get a streak of silver along the side-- his Briggs stripe, he calls it. I suppose I could call my call Silver Phantom, but that sounds kind of dorky, like something out of Scooby Doo. maybe silver ghost would be better. Or just ghost. Because I sometimes feel like my car is a ghost of Pete's car. Or even a shadow. or something long those lines. I don't often call it that, esp. not in front of other drivers. Naming cars usually happens in drag races, street races or back in the day. Most of us don't name cars any more, esp. not our race cars. But it feels like I should, since Pete did. So I have to think about it. So maybe Shadow or Silver Shadow or Spirit. Those sound like horse names though. I'll make a list: Mirage 2 Ghost Silver Spirit Phantom Shadow Silver shadow Dream Echo I can't think of any others. It should be something that says how I feel-- like I'm still driving in Pete's shadow. But I;m not sure of the right words.
