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!"

Power Couple

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.

I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
