Fellow dads, we’re a day away from Father’s Day! I hope your special day is filled with love, family time, relaxation, and great food. Of course, something related to automobiles is nice no matter what day it is. I’ll take care of that with this week’s installment of Car Connections. I had the Random Word Generator spit out a trio of words, then found a way to link them all to vehicles. This week’s words are salvation, frame, and hostile. How would you associate these words with cars? Tell us in the Comments section below. (And click here for more car games!)

Salvation: Church. Church’s Fried Chicken. KFC. Kentucky. The Chevrolet Corvette, which is built in Bowling Green.

Frame: Picture. “Photograph” is an Ed Sheeran song. Ed Sheeran is a redhead. You know what else is a redhead? A car featured on so many posters in the 1980s: the Ferrari Testarossa!

Straight from the Prancing Horse‘s mouth: “The name Testa Rossa is Italian for Red Head, and refers to the colour that the camshaft covers were painted on the sports racing models,” such as the Testarossa’s ancestor from decades earlier, the 250 Testa Rossa. (It appears as if Ferrari had its own version of the Chevrolet Corvette’s Sting Ray/Stingray name alteration.)

Hostile: The 2005 horror film “Hostile” directed by Eli Roth, who also starred in “Inglourious Basterds.” Quentin Tarantino’s earlier movie “Pulp Fiction,” in which a boxer named Butch Coolidge (played by Bruce Willis) drives a 1980 Honda Civic straight into Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames), a man he owes money after Butch killed his opponent in a boxing match.

The hatchback ends up getting destroyed, but Butch saves Marsellus from a much worse fate with something else that’s Japanese: a katana.
If today’s round of Car Connections makes you want to add a Chevrolet, Ferrari, or Honda to your garage, you can find them at ClassicCars.com and AutoHunter.com.
