When I bought my van in 1997, my daughter was four years old, and she was always watching "Little Mairmaid". I named my van after the witch: she's big, white and evil, so Ursula is her name. I also have a 1973 Super Beetle, Mauricio, named after a great Mexican movie actor, a 1988 Fox, Marigina, named after one of the most beautiful girls I met when I was a child, a 2000 white Jetta GLS that I bought for my daughter, Claudio, being that the Foghorn Leghorn character's name in cartoons translated to spanish. And the oldest VW in my stable, a 1970 Beetle, Jacobo, named after a great Puertorican actor and movie director.
