“Cars take on their own personality when they are being planned out or when they are under construction,” said Sydney Weaver, Marketing Director of Weaver Customs. “Names usually embody the attitude of a car. Some are bolder, which likely is indicative of big horsepower and aggressive stance. Others are more mild, reflecting a cruising and carefree nature.”
