Honestly... the Fairlady name took years for me to accept it. But when I read the whole story behind the naming of the car and the japanese culture in how they express admiration... I gained a new respect for it.
Now I'm waiting for the Fairlady emblem to restock so I can attach it |

 I kind of like "Mazda Bongo Friendee". It sings.

 On the topic, I think the Ferrari Califonia is weird, why will an Italian legendary auto maker name its car with an state name of a foreign country, can't they use a name of a region or city from their own country??

My dad had a 1970 240z when I was a kid. He bought his in 1975 and did auto cross and track events almost every weekend until the early 80's. Usually with me as his only crew. It was his dd for that entire time too. I remember him telling me about the Fairlady name and why it wasn't called that here in the states. To me the Fairlady moniker has as much prestige and heritage as "Boss" or "SS". That's why the Fairlady badge was one of my first mods.
