Get in line for the Priapus aka Volta

The story's a joke, but I've found a name for my car!

Common poeple will think it's just a play on "Prius". Perhaps 4 - 5 people will know enough about Latin tradition to tie it to the god.

But when I mentioned to my doctor-wife that I wanted to name my car Priapus, she asked if that had anything to do with Priapism, the condition in which the erect penis does not return to the flacid state.

Well, it does now!! :mrgreen:

I also know there's a reference to it in the movie Dreamcatcher, so a good number of people might know it from that.
