Although I am sympathetic to the notions behind the struggle between "The Car and The City", caps notwithstanding, I would never, not ever wear gear that said "The War on Cars". ffs.
Speaking of hood design, as we weren't, I find myself irked by the bills on rain hoods if those bills come down too far over my face. (My Eddie Bauer anorak, an admirably functional product, suffers from this issue.)
Been a fan of your work back when I was reading your posts thru Google Reader (RIP)! Delighted to see your question on Feed Me, wonder “Hm, a naming expert named Nancy? Could it be??” and find you posting on Substack! Following you here now :)
(apologies, trigger warning: scatological content) Ghia. Karmann comes first to mind, as mentioned. But, as a liquid, it rhymes/resonates too much with diarrhea. Gio would have also avoided this.

Re hood design: Agree, sometimes they're annoyingly floppy. Cleverhood's hoods look like they may have some sort of boning or stiffener.

Thanks, Yoko! Yes, the internet hasn't been the same since the demise of Google Reader.
Add a third definition: the state of being clever (like personhood). Yes, I know we already have a word for that, but we never needed normalcy either.
Tangentially: Menswear Guy's surname literally being "Guy" is so delightful.

Funny, I was going to say Ghia to me evoked Khia, who sang about her neck, her back, her [REDACTED] *and* her [REDACTED]. Double scatology!
OK, I had to look up “Khia.” I'd have to guess at the pronunciation of her name. No guttural?
I assume it's pronounced like in "Kia Telluride." (And boy, will she ever tell u "ride" !!)
