Nowhere in particular. I reserved a few car-related names and some German-adjacent names to really lean into the Porsche thing, but in the end I picked Carpokes because it seemed simple, easy to remember, car-related, non- constraining -- and coined a new form of poke to join with slow-pokes and cow-pokes. I wasn't over thinking it at all at the time, as evidenced by our first thread on the site...

Very nice - I like it a lot! As WillyDaP mentioned, it's unique. It looks like rose/copper blend of some kind but it's hard to describe. Also, I don't know that I've seen that Porsche color in person.
