Just a Monday morning rant. When I was going to work I spotted a van named Opel Sintra. For some reason it started a storm of negativity inside of me. What the hell does this word "sintra" mean? Is it related in any way to Meriva, Zafira, Elantra and other obscure car names? If it is, what do they mean, then? Are they aliens from the sky? Are they a secret clan of thugs names in such a way as to recognize each other in the crowd? What's the deal with all these names that I can't decipher the meaning of?

P.S. Chevy Captiva beats all of them. Chevy marketing department folks must have come up with it while doing hair of the dog after a heavy hangover. Does the name mean the car is a captive? Or the driver is a captive of his car? Or the driver will hold his passengers captive once theey get in?

Stupid...
