A knight in a Charger, or an electrician in one. You could have a janitor in a Comet. How about a big game hunter in a Safari? Screech in an EEEEE-150. A horse in an Equinox. A curtain maker in a Traverse. ---

@circuitsmith LOL Sort of. Dealing with a situation so kept adding to the list as I thought of more. A few I had to look up to be certain I was correct that those actually are/were car models, such as the Wraith. I couldn’t think of a model for car mechanics, though. Perhaps the Spark which I used for electrician. ---
