Phaethon

Phaethon seeks assurance that his mother, Clymene, is telling the truth that his father is the sun god Helios. When Phaethon obtains his father's promise to drive the sun chariot as proof, he fails to control it and the Earth is in danger of burning up when Phaeton is killed by a thunderbolt from Zeus to prevent further disaster. The name "Phaëton" means the "shining” is also an epithet of Clymenus by Merope or Clymene and Lucifer the Morning Star Venus.

VOLKSWAGEN Phaeton

An unusually named, Audi A8 based, high-class luxury Volkswagen. Came with a choice of outrageously powerful engines, a super strong frame, great handling, and first-rate engineering and materials. Comfort was beyond superb. The Phaeton never sold well, because when rich snobs buy their $70,000 sedans, they want a name to go with it. The Phaeton was a great car, but was too similar to its Audi cousin and therefore was outsold. It will be returning for 2016, thankfully.

"Hey, is that a Volkswagen Phaeton you have?"

"Yeah. I got it for $15,000, and it's got more power than half the cars on the market today. Boy do I love undesirable gems like this!"

Hair spider

A tight, tangled knot of loose hair and lint that forms inside clothing during the clothes dryer cycle. It typically hides inside garments, causing an annoying lump or a phantom tickling sensation against the skin until it is found or falls out onto the floor during folding.
