Hello Bill,

Reminds me of Anne Black's Saturn. Mercury's (Mercur's) are all locked
up in garages and junkyards as of 2011, and Saturn's were re-accreted
in 2010. Seems like celestially named vehicles just have bad luck when
it comes to staying power. The Hyundai Tucson name is still around for
the moment ... I guess people identify their automobile more with local
traffic jams, ripping up the environment, and non-sensical alphanumeric
suffixes than rockets and road trips around the solar system ...

Kindest wishes
Doug

"5. Mercury Meteor (parent body Mercury or Ford?)"

I nominate the 64 Caliente. Parent body Mercury of course. My first
celestial
acquisition :)
