Default Silvia has a more modern garage mate

Though, it's not like the RX 300 was slackin', just 16 years old.

The difference between the 300 and the 4th gen (2016-present 350) is remarkable.

Honestly, the RX 350 makes my LS 460 L look normal in size. Also, garages need to be wider.

Khaleesi, as in GoT. Princess was a princess, but this big girl's the queen.

Believe it or not, my wife wanted to name Silvia, "Cersei", being as that character is intimidating, capable of surprising behavior, older, and is also a queen.

However, those two should _never_ be in the same general area, much less the same room.

Automobile names using characters in fiction isn't "normal" for us, but in this case, it's the underlying personalities which make it work.

The 1998 Grand Cherokee 5.9L is affectionately known as Hodor, which is 100% fitting. Big, clumsy, kinda stupid, but gentle when need be and you'd bet your life on him being reliable and predictable. Plus, he'll give his all when you ask him to do something. We've had that truck on Colorado trails there was no way unmodified machines should travel across. Meh. You just have to be decently good off-road and have a vehicle you know very, very well.
